ENT Surgeon Reveals Nasal Polyp Truths, Offers Tips for Better Sleep & Breathing
•Blocked nose often leads to snoring due to obstructed nasal passages, causing throat tissues to vibrate more intensely during sleep.
•Dr. Neha Pangam, Consultant ENT surgeon at AIMS Hospital, Dombivli, clarifies that nasal polyps are usually benign growths, not cancerous, and can be effectively managed.
•Nasal polyps are linked to allergies, asthma, and chronic inflammation, not just infections; many cases respond to medicines and nasal sprays, not just surgery.
•Tips for better breathing include maintaining a healthy weight, sleeping on your side, keeping the bedroom dust-free, staying hydrated, and avoiding irritants like smoking and alcohol.
•Managing nasal polyps involves prescribed nasal steroid sprays, saline rinses, and prompt treatment of sinus infections for improved breathing and reduced snoring.
