When children have nasal polyps, their breathing will be particularly difficult. If it affects the child's brain, the child will feel headaches and affect the development here, so it must be treated in time. So how should children with nasal polyps be treated?

Steps/Methods:

1. Parents should arrange a reasonable diet for children with nasal polyps. They should be careful not to eat spicy, stimulating or greasy foods. They should eat light food as much as possible, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, get more rest, drink plenty of water, and avoid excessive exercise or fatigue.

1. Conservative treatment: Drug treatment is mainly aimed at infection and allergic reaction factors. The goal is to limit the symptoms of nasal polyps and rhinitis, reestablish nasal breathing and sense of smell, and prevent the recurrence of nasal polyps.

(1) Currently, glucocorticoids are more commonly used, including nasal sprays. After using them for 1 to 2 months, observe whether the polyps disappear. During use, the doctor will consider the patient's systemic condition and possible side effects.

For recurrent polyps, it is generally used starting one week before surgery; if the patient is over 50 years old or has a history of hypertension, dexamethasone 10 mg is given intravenously 3 days before surgery, and the dosage is gradually reduced, and the drug is discontinued after 1 to 3 months. In principle, long-term use of hormones is not recommended for children under 6 years old.

(2) Other treatments: including rational use of antibiotics (to control infection), mucus-thinning drugs, nasal irrigation, Chinese patent medicine, etc.

2. Surgical treatment: For patients who do not respond well to conservative treatment or whose polyps are too large, surgical resection can be used to remove nasal polyps. After the operation, the doctor will establish unobstructed drainage of the nasal cavity and sinuses for the patient to drain the secretions in the sinuses and achieve better treatment goals.
