I didn’t see the need for posting the following in a new thread, since the title question is the same.

I have good reason to suspect that I have a polyp in my left nasal passage/sinus cavity. When my allergies flare up so does the polyp. It gets bigger. I can feel it in there. If I inhale/exhale hard, I can feel it flip around. It’s not a boogie. I can feel it with the tip of my pinky finger, but I cant see it. Are nasal polyps dangerous? Should I have it looked at? I have had the nasal polyp for over a year at least.
