The main symptoms of nasal polyps in infants include nasal congestion, runny nose, and may also involve difficulty breathing. If not treated promptly, it could potentially affect normal memory function. Patients should use medications such as Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride Nasal Drops under a doctor's guidance, and Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray may also be used. However, Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride Nasal Drops are contraindicated for children under 2 years of age. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are also necessary to monitor the recovery progress.
