Can vocal polyps be treated effectively with anti-inflammatory medication?

Polyps on the vocal cords can benefit from anti-inflammatory treatment as an initial approach. However, anti-inflammatory measures alone cannot eliminate vocal cord polyps; they may only help reduce inflammation and potentially allow recovery before surgical removal. After diagnosis, patients should avoid speaking loudly for an extended period and strictly follow their doctor's advice. They should consume more liquid or semi-liquid foods and avoid irritating foods. Eating more fruits such as apples and pears can help moisten the throat and alleviate symptoms.
