Challenges include the difficulty in controlling both conditions simultaneously and the potential for disease recurrence.
- Medical Management: Traditional treatments include nasal corticosteroids and systemic steroids, but they may not always be effective, especially in patients with AERD.
- Surgical Intervention: For severe cases, surgery like functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) might be required, but polyps often recur.
- Biologic Therapies: New targeted treatments are being explored to address type 2 inflammation more effectively, potentially treating both the nasal and bronchial inflammation simultaneously.
