Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion, you should definitely get done surgery for nasal polyps.
No medicines or treatment other than surgery will be helpful in your case.
Following are the indications of surgery in your case.
1. You are having multiple polyps.
2. Bilateral polyps
3. Symptomatic (coughing) since 2 years.
So, all these favour surgical treatment in your case.
So get done surgery for symptomatic relief.
