Nasal Polyps Treatments

Treatment

Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:

Medications

  • Nasal sprays to reduce swelling, increase nasal airflow, and help shrink polyps
  • Drugs to help reduce swelling and shrink polyps
  • Drugs to control allergies or infection, such as antihistamines for allergies or antibiotics for a bacterial infection

Surgery

  • Polypectomy—removing nasal polyps; if the polyps are small, this can be done in your doctor's office.
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery—removing the nasal polyps and opening the sinuses where the polyps form

If you are diagnosed with nasal polyps, follow your doctor's instructions.
