The treatment for your nodules will depend on their cause and severity. If your nodules are serious enough, surgery will likely be required to remove them. However, in other cases, you may be able to treat the root cause of the problem rather than the symptom of nodules. For example, getting allergy treatment may help resolve your nodules if allergies are causing the issue. You can talk to an ENT to learn the root cause of your vocal nodules and determine an effective treatment plan.
In some cases, vocal cord nodules may go away on their own if proper precautions are taken. This includes resting your voice and avoiding stressing your vocal cords. In general, you should see an ENT for your nodules if your symptoms last longer than 3 weeks. Getting the care you need may be essential for preventing the problem from becoming permanent.
As we stated above, many cases of nodules will go away on their own if you take the right steps to protect your throat. However, there are significant risks posed by failing to get care if your symptoms last longer than three weeks: nodules can continue to progress over time, making your vocal problems worse and making it more difficult to recover. For some, surgery will be needed to remove vocal nodules and provide relief. Some people may lose their voice almost entirely if nodules are left untreated for long enough.
