Abstract

Drug therapy was performed on 16 patients with nasal polyps who visited the hospital with major complaints of severe unilateral nasal obstruction and the therapeutic efficacy was investigated. Steroids and an anti-allergy drug with an anti-histaminic effect were administered orally and steroids were sprayed in the nasal cavity. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were administered optionally. Six weeks after initiation of therapy, remarkably good therapeutic effects were obtained with respect to nasal obstruction, subjective symptoms, and the actual size of nasal polyps. Drug therapy for nasal polyps is considered necessary, though not sufficient, and could also prevent recurrence of nasal polyps after resection.
