Have Asthma And Terrible Nasal Polyps. Undergone Two Sinus Surgeries. How To Treat Them And Will Xolair Help?
Ok,
I have asthma and terrible nasal polyps. I have had 2 sinus surgeries. My Allergist, Dr. Francis McCafferty told me aobut a study done on Omalizumab (a medicine called Xolair) He had blood drawn from me on this past wed. and he said I should ask about the study online where I may be able to get Xolair at a discounted rate. He knows I have suffered, and is trying to give me a better way to have a more normal life. Can you give me info on the results of helping nasal polyps? And how I can try this drug Xolair? I live in Atlanta Ga Thanks, Yvonne Harbour I do not even think I would not have asthma if not for these nasal polyps. (my opinion) YYYY@YYYY

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The size of polyp is matter as long as the treatment are concern, the surgery is the only option, if the polyp is asymptomatic then conservative line of treatment helps a lot without the surgery, for nasal drops you have asked, all the nasal preparation have a more or less same mode of actions and have same kind of side effects I actually advise my patient to have steam inhalation, drink little worm water which gives same results as one gets in nasal drops without side effects have nice day.
