Depends what the polyps are. Polyp is just a description of a shape really. If the cause is thought to be fungal that I suppose it will help. Or perhaps the vet thought there was a concurrent fungal infection. Why don't you ask the vet?
I don't know about in dogs but in people yes they can quite often recur although with some people after a course of steroids they can disappear and not come back for many years.
