Nasal polyps are small, sac-like growths consisting of inflamed nasal mucosa.
Nasal polyps appear in a number of conditions. The polyps originate near the ethmoid sinuses (located at the top of the nose) and grow into the open areas. Large polyps can obstruct the airway.
Children with nasal polyps sound congested and often breathe through their mouths because of chronic nasal obstruction. A runny nose or infected nose is common.
Polyps are seen with asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), chronic sinus infections, and cystic fibrosis. About 1 in 4 people with cystic fibrosis have nasal polyps.

Fleshy polypi hanging from both nares, agg during damp weather; entire obstruction of nose at times; much discharge of water and mucus from nose.
For thirty years, nasal polypi removed every two or three years by operative means; nasal bones on left side pressed asunder; judging from sensations complained of by patient, polypus extended up to ethmoid bone, into choanae and into antrum of Highmore; after two months’ treatment could breathe freely through nose, and the sense of smell which had been impaired for last twenty years was restored, a small portion of polypus, however, remained high up in nasal cavity.

Burnett has recorded several cases of polypus in which immense relief was given by Lemna by shrinkage of the swelling, but not actual cure.
On this Cooper remarks: “In bad cases of nasal polypi the tendency is to the growths filling up the cavities formed by removal, and, consequently, relief often appears temporary, when the case only requires repetition of the Unit Dose.”
