<bot>: Hello, Thanks for trusting Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. As per your description it seems that you are having vocal nodules, This is nothing but benign(non-cancerous) swelling formed over vocal cord probably due to voice abuse like screaming or shouting. Sometimes minor throat infection also cause this. You can do the following:1. Absolute voice rest for a week.2. Avoid hot and spicy food.3. Do warm saline gargling.4. Behavioral speech therapy may be needed in some cases. You need a followup examination by your ENT surgeon to assess the progress, and further treatment may be tailored by him. Hope this help. Wishing you good health. Regards. Chat Doctor.
