If you have asthma, you also have an increased risk of other types of respiratory diseases. That’s why asthma and nasal polyps so often appear together.
Working together with your doctor can help get your asthma under control. This may reduce the effect of nasal polyps on your life, and lower your risk of other asthma complications.
