Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Treatment of the same depends upon the clinical severity though I am giving salient guidelines for the same.
• Gargles with salted lukewarm water and added peppermint oil 3 times/day
• Deep breathing exercises
• OTC basis cough syrups help
• Avoid excess spicy, chilled beverages, and sugar
• Avoid exposure to dusty environments if needed use face mask
• Need of antibiotics, bronchodilator molecules require a physical check-up

For nodule management as it is said benign, how is it confirmed benign? Any biopsy report taken then kindly attach herewith for correlation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
