A member asked:
I've had nasal polyps for 15 years now and multiple surgeries that don't seem to work- any alternative treatments?

Steroids: Nasal polyps are very difficult to control. Oral steroids, nasal steroids and an allergy work up may be beneficial... Especially if you have an Aspirin sensitivity.
