hi,
I think you are having nasal polyps.Nasal polyps are fleshy, noncancerous swellings that grow inside the nose or sinuses. The most common symptoms they cause are a stuffy, runny nose. Steroid nasal drops are commonly used to shrink the polyps. Surgical removal of polyps is sometimes needed. Nasal polyps often return after treatment, so steroid nasal sprays can be used daily to prevent recurrence.So, once you go and consult ENT surgeon.Thnak you.
