A member asked:
My dad is having nasal polyps from a long time.he is afraid of surgery. is there is anyway to cure it without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no medicine that makes the polyps go away. They have to be removed. Also, they can grow back over time. Usually, the procedure is straightforward and quite safe. He will likely feel much better when his nasal breathing improves and his number of sinus infections decreases. Good luck!
