Nasal Polyps - Presentation and Management
Nasal polyps are common benign growths of the nose and paranasal sinuses. They have the appearance of peeled grapes, and they are sometimes associated with allergies or asthma. When small they are asymptomatic and require no treatment.
But the larger lesions are symptomatic with nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea the predominant symptoms. Medication and/or surgery are the main forms of treatment. Because they can recur after successful treatment, however, continued medical therapy is often necessary.
Allergic Rhinitis and its Treatment

Allergic rhinitis is a group of symptoms that occur when you breathe in an allergen- such as dust, animal dander, or pollen. This type of allergic rhinitis is commonly called hay fever, and may be seasonal allergy or non-seasonal (perennial).
Treatment of tonsillitis
What is Tonsillitis
This is an infection of the tonsils. The latter are paired soft tissue masses located in three sites. The palatine tonsils at the back of the mouth (oropharyngeal tonsils), the nasopharyngeal (adenoid) or post nasal tonsil, and the lingual tonsil located at the base of the tongue. They are glands that form part of the immune system, and thus function to prevent infection from potential bacterial or viral organisms that enter through the mouth and nose. Although healthy tonsils offer protection, diseased tonsils are inefficient at serving this function. Diseased tonsils are associated with decreased antigen transport and decreased antibody production. Therefore, removal of diseased tonsils improves rather than compromise the patient’s resistance.
