May is Allergy Awareness Month which highlights the prevalence of allergies which may impact up to 30% of the U.S. population. 30 million Americans suffer from chronic sinusitis that can be related and cause bothersome symptoms and up to 10 million of them may have nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are not cancer. They are benign growths high and deep in the nasal passages that result from chronic inflammation and lead to persistent symptoms like congestion, runny nose and recurrent sinus infections. This allergy season in particular, people may have more questions about these symptoms because COVID-19 is still present and can come with similar symptoms. Dr. Neal Jain, board-certified allergist and immunologist, joins Let's Talk America Radio to discuss the latest information regarding nasal polyps. Don't miss it.    #LTARadio
