Dr. Xie Zixing
If pediatric nasal polyps are not treated promptly and effectively, significant nasal obstruction may occur, along with symptoms such as impaired memory and decreased attention span—and in severe cases, mouth breathing may develop. Therefore, treatment under a physician’s guidance—such as with mometasone furoate nasal drops—is essential to effectively control the disease. Additionally, surgical removal of the polyps is often necessary to facilitate recovery.
