Question
What should I do about a soft tumor in my child’s right nasal cavity?
Answer
Based on the description, your child may have nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are typically benign growths in the nasal cavity, appearing as soft, pale pink or red masses. For smaller polyps, systemic medication, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, can be tried. If medication is ineffective, a functional endoscopic sinus surgery may be considered. For multiple or recurrent polyps, conventional surgical treatment is usually recommended. It is advised that you consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist as soon as possible to receive a professional diagnosis and treatment plan.
