Allergy is the main cause of nasal polyps.You have these polyps in the left nostril. If they are small ones an antiallergic tablet along with a steroid nasal spray should help. If you have large multiple ones it has to be removed by a surgical procedure. A CT scan of the para nasal sinuses should be done & then a decision taken whether to get treated medically or surgically.

Hello. Thank you for your query. Lemna minor is basically a duckweed which helps in nasal congestion. Nasal polyps on only one side are usually infectious in origin. I would like to ask a few more questions. 1. Do you suffer from any nasal obstruction and if yes then is it one sided or both sides of nose? 2. Do you have any recurrent sneezing, frequent cold or nasal or eye itching. 3. Do you have any fever or occasional headaches with or without heavyness of the face? It is important to answer these questions to differentiate allergic or infectious nasal polyps and the treatment would vary for them both. Kindly follow up with the answers for a more comprehensive solution to the problem.

If you have polyps in the left nostril, I would say go for a ct scan pns (all views) because for you age, a perfect diagnosis is essential before deciding the further management. Let us know if you need our consultation. And as you are a patient of asthma, we would need to rule out a few conditions in your case by performing a nasal endoscopy.
