Hi.
This can be either a cancer or some inflammatory mass. CT scan or MRI and FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology to start with should help to get diagnosis.
IF this is cancer you may need a laryngectomy. IF inflammatory simple repeated aspiration and broad spectrum antibiotics should help to get you a cure.
Always go for investigations before any surgery.
