Dr. Xu Gang
The recurrence rate of nasal polyps in children may be relatively high. Since this condition is caused by bacterial infection, inadequate postoperative care—particularly prolonged exposure to bacterial infection—can lead to recurrence. In daily life, it is essential to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the affected area and to rinse regularly with warm water to prevent worsening of bacterial infection and to support recovery.
