Enlarged tonsils and vocal cord polyps should be treated by an otolaryngologist. Patients can use saline solution to rinse the nasal cavity. Polyps can be removed under local anesthesia using a wire loop or electronic laryngoscope. Most patients with vocal cord polyps undergo laser excision surgery with microscopic examination under a microscope with a supported laryngoscope.
