Nasal steroid spray: For small nasal polyps, treatment with daily topical nasal steroid sprays can shrink the size. If the polyps are too large, they will need to be surgically removed.

Oral steroids: If you have had relief of your nasal symptoms for 6 years, that is a pretty good result. Oral and topical steroids are the medical treatments for nasal polyposis because it is an inflammatory disease. Only if these options fail after 2 or 3 attempts and you are very symptomatic, that is, can not breathe through your nose and can not smell, should another surgery be considered.
