He removed another plug and told me I needed to keep my nose moisturized.  I told him that the saline spray they gave me in Pittsburgh was only drying my nose more.. He told me what else I could use and I can;t remember the name of the product but it was wonderfull.  It really helped.  I will try to find out what it was.  (it is over the counter).  I did not inform my doctors in Pittsburgh and everything went alright.   These will keep forming for months.  But they will lessen in size as time goes by.  Eventully I could dislodge them myself by snorting but they always ended up in my throat and I felt like I could have choked on them.  It seems like it took about 8-10 months for it to clear up.
