Pediatric nasal polyps: If the condition is not particularly severe, parents may administer corticosteroid medications—such as mometasone furoate nasal spray—to their child under a physician’s guidance. For more severe cases, prompt consultation with an otolaryngologist at a reputable hospital is essential; treatment typically involves minimally invasive surgical removal to prevent disease progression. Additionally, maintaining local hygiene in daily life is important.
