Medication For Recurrent Nasal Polyp?

I am having a reoccurence of a Nasal Polyp while travelling in India and would like to know which Indian medicamentation you would suggest.
I am from Germany and have been treated with medicaments successfully last year but don't recall the exact name (and probably it is called differently in India anyhow).
Your feedback is much appreciated

Sorry to hear about your problem. Sometimes the climate in India precipitates symptoms related to nasal polyps and they can be very annoying. You should take steam twice a day as it helps to open up the sinuses. In addition you can try Budecort or Fluticasone nasal spray along with Azelastine. This spray will help in keeping the symptoms at bay and sometimes also cause slight reduction in size of the polyp. You should take one spray in each nostril, twice a day. They might cause a slight bitter taste in your mouth, so rinse your mouth 5-10 mins after taking the spray.
Following this trip, you should consult an ENT surgeon and consider surgical removal of these polyps.
Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
