My son saw the dr today and said he has a nasal polyp which is prominent completely blocking the left nostril. He is 3 years old. We have an appt to see an ENT Specialist, what will he suggest as the treatment/surgery. I know you can use steriod sprays but due to his age I believe he is too young. I would like to get some more information about what is going to happen.
hello, thanks for your query, at 3 yrs, poly filling one nasal cavity could be due to allergy, infection, malignancy, bleeding polyp or rhinolith. kindly do ct pns to rule out its pattern and extent. surgery in the mainstay of treatment. in allergic polyp steroidal sprays can work. all the best. take care.
