Brief Answer:
Follow as advised.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
Mr XXXXXXX since her polyp is asymptomatic there is no need to any treatment.
I would advise her to do steam inhalation at least 3 times a day and make it a habit and routine activity of her life.
In future if she ever develops rhinitis, snoring , breathing issues, medicines would be indicated accordingly at that time.
Nasal Polyps can be found in lot of people. If they are asymptomatic , no treatment is indicated
Her Headache might be a part of this Sinus problem,she can do steam inhalation which should help her.
I hope my answer helps you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
