Hi -
My son has had CD for over 3 years now (he's 9). Everything seems to be going well and his test results are all great, including his Humira level. He keeps getting nasal sores that bleed, and he's very congested. His dr is starting to think he has nasal crohns, which is rare? She wants us to see his pediatrician to get her opinion and possibly rule out autoimmune causes. Our GI dr says it's very hard to treat, even if everything else is going well with Crohns treatment.
I'd like to hear about anyone else with this and what they did to diagnose and treat these nasal ulcers. Would a nasal biopsy help? Who would even do this? An ENT or Dermatologist?
TIA!
Shannon
