Nasal polyps are noncancerous growths within the nose or sinuses. Symptoms include trouble breathing through the nose, loss of smell, decreased taste, post-nasal drip, and a runny nose; the growths are sac-like, movable, and non-tender, though face pain may occasionally occur, and they typically occur in both nostrils in those affected. Complications may include sinusitis and broadening of the nose.
