How long does pain last after outpatient vocal polyp surgery?

Pain after outpatient vocal cord polyp surgery usually lasts about seven days, as vocal cord polyp removal is a minor procedure and generally not dangerous. Don't worry too much. After returning home, avoid spicy and irritating foods. If throat pain persists and gradually worsens, it is necessary to be re-evaluated for the possibility of infection at the surgical site via laryngoscopy, and receive timely diagnosis and appropriate anti-infective treatment if needed.
