Patient's question:
Last year, our daughter was found to have rhinitis, and an examination revealed a unilateral nasal polyp. Recently, she has been feeling uncomfortable when breathing.Doctor's answer:
Since nasal polyps are the result of long-term inflammatory reactions in nasal respiratory mucosa, they can be treated with corticosteroids. Corticosteroids not only reduce the size of polyps to the point of disappearance but also, when used postoperatively, can delay or prevent polyp recurrence.
