[edit] Treatment

"Nasal polyps are most often treated with steroids, topical or oral, but can also be treated with surgical methods."

Not according to what our doctor tells us. Also not according with this site: http://www.surgerydoor.co.uk/so/detail2.asp?level2=Nasal%20Polyp%20Removal

"If you leave things as they are, the polyps will always get worse. Some tablets and nasal sprays shrink polyps a little. The polyps will always get bigger once the tablets or sprays are stopped. The only way to get rid of polyps is with an operation."
