Dr. Xu Gang
Nasal polyps in children can be alleviated with medication. It is recommended to visit the pediatrics department of a reputable hospital and, under the guidance of a qualified physician, use fluticasone propionate nasal spray or budesonide nasal spray for treatment. If symptom improvement is insufficient after initial treatment, oral prednisone acetate tablets may be prescribed by the physician. In daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as Mapo tofu and spicy-sour rice noodles.
