Summary

This study tested whether taking a low-dose antibiotic (clarithromycin) for three months after sinus surgery could stop nasal polyps from growing back early. 100 patients aged 15-75 took part. Those who received the antibiotic had fewer symptoms and a lower chance of polyps returning (12% vs 32%) compared to those who had standard care alone.
