Persistent symptoms that don’t improve and polyps that are not on both sides of your nose will ultimately require surgery. Surgery accomplishes a few things.

Surgery also creates a wider opening into your sinus cavities. This specifically is going to allow for more topical medications to be used after surgery to help control any recurrence.
