Nasal polyps in children can be treated conservatively or surgically. If the polyps are small, conservative management—such as saline nasal irrigation and topical medications like azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray—may help alleviate symptoms. However, if the polyps are large or if conservative treatment fails to achieve satisfactory results, the child should be referred to a reputable otolaryngology (ENT) hospital for minimally invasive surgical removal of the polyps.
