Qingbitang: Why does allergic rhinitis cause nasal polyps?

Nasal polyps are a common nasal disease. It is the result of long-term inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa causing tissue edema. Patients with long-term and recurrent allergic rhinitis and sinusitis are most susceptible to nasal polyps.

The main symptoms are nasal congestion, headache, and thick mucus. Especially those large nasal polyps, whose long-term presence will squeeze the nasal cavity, are also a major hazard to the nasal cavity and brain.

If nasal polyps are not healed for a long time, it will not only cause "frog nose", secretory otitis media, sinusitis, asthma and other diseases, but will also aggravate heart, brain and lung diseases!
