When : When you mean "allergy treatments" you probably mean allergy injection therapy that gives serial injections of things that a person is allergic to from the air, such as dust mites or pollens. Such allergy injection therapy does not help polyps. Most patients with polyps show intense allergic-like reactions to the toxins from germs that grow inside the sinuses. Such germs include staphylococcus. Patients who are allergic to aspirin, a desensitization to Aspirin may help treating polyps. Furthermore, steroid solution, such as Budesonide inhalation solution which is used for treating asthma through a nebulizer, can be instilled into sinuses for those patients who had sinus surgery previously and may help preventing the recurrence of polyps.

See an allergist: If you haven't seen an allergist for testing then that is the first step.
