Took Different Antibiotics For Nasal Polyps, No Help. How To Get Rid Of This ?
I think I have nasal polyps. I've taken 2 types of antibiotics already and allergy pills and nothing worked. I researched my symptoms and it seems like FESS-Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is the answer, I just had a CT Scan and next month I will see an EENT specialist. I would prefer not to have surgery. Is there any other ways I can get rid of this nasal polyps. I also saw an acupuncturist last Saturday--do you think this might help if I continue to get this therapy? What home remedies can I do?

A short course of steroids for upto 10-14 days,preferably methylprednisolone,would probably help in clearing most nasal polyps.Use of Fluticasone nasal spray will help prevent recurrence.You can discuss this with your GP,home therapies will not help much.
