My 8 year old has been complaining about his sinuses lately. I took a good look in his nose yesterday and I noticed that he had a large growth on the inside of his nose. It is almost completely blocking the nasal passage. I called and made him an appointment for Thursday to have it looked at. My brother had polyps in his nose when he was a kid, and I think that is what this is. He had to have them surgically removed. Have you ever had a polyp in your nasal passage? Have your kids? What did you do about them?

This is the first I've heard about polyps in the nose and I really don't have any idea. But with further researching, here's the cause of having nasal polyps:
Nasal polyps are most commonly thought to be caused by allergy and rarely by cystic fibrosis although a significant number are associated with non-allergic adult asthma or no respiratory or allergic trigger that can be demonstrated.
Mometasone furoate are commonly available to treat allergic symptoms that may cause nasal polyps.
Hope this helps and hope your kid will be okay soon.
