6. Know when it’s time to call in the pros.
Don’t go it alone treating your nasal polyps symptoms at home for too long. If your efforts haven’t paid off after 10 days, it’s time to talk with your doctor, especially if you’re experiencing a loss of smell or taste. Treatment with corticosteroids, orally or through a nasal spray, is usually the next step and tends to be highly effective. Treatment with injections can also help treat the root of the problem. Seek immediate emergency medical care if you have extreme trouble breathing, vision problems, or severe headache with a high fever.
