About 15 years ago, I went completely hoarse (my voice dwindled down to sounding like I had bad case of laryngitis). It was learned I had polyps and they were removed by surgery.....Recently I had a bad cold including cough....I notice I have the feeling like I have a little phlegm in my throat and I try clearing my throat but nothing really comes up....After several attempts throughout an hour, I then develop a cough.
Have a developed a very small polyp and am irritating it by trying to cough up phlegm or has a polyp been developing that I was not aware of since I got my cold.....Secondly, I may have caused the development of a small polyp by constantly trying to clear my throat, at this point is it possible that I can shrink it or will it melt down like a blister does?..thank you..

Hi
currently have nasal polyps, I had them removed last year but they have grown back
my surgeon recommended 7 days steroids, withba nasal spray and 6 weeks antibiotics
after two weeks can smell and taste and breathe again through nostrils
i know it is not in the same aera, but these polyps appeared to have shrunk with this regime, might do the same for you
good luck

I too have nasal polyps. I cannot tolerate steroids (they cause me to have panic attacks to the point where I avoid certain areas where the attacks occurred.) I am self-treating my polyps by drinking a half cup of WARM milk with a teaspoon of turmeric spice in it (with some sugar added if you like) at bedtime. I am hoping it will work.....many people swear by turmeric for various heath concerns. In about one month I am due back to the ENT. I hope they will have shrunk, at least a little. I will not tell him about the turmeric because doctors are always against natural treatments and he will say that the panic was not from the steroids. However, others have reported panic as well.
