Symptoms of Nasal and Sinus Polyps

The symptoms of nasal polyps are much like symptoms of a cold that doesn’t go away, including a stuffy or runny nose.

Oftentimes it’s hard to distinguish between symptoms caused by the polyps and symptoms related to the chronic rhinitis that polyps can cause. Symptoms can include:

• Nasal and sinus congestion
• Runny nose
• Postnasal drip
• Sneezing
• Fullness in sinuses
• Sinus headache
• Itching around the eyes
• Mouth breathing
• Impaired sense of smell and taste
• Recurrent infections
• Change in the shape of the nose, in severe cases
