Hi, thanks for your query.
In my opinion, vocal cord or laryngeal polyp until unkess it is because of infection it will not reduce with any treatment.
Surgery is the only option.
alcohol doesn't seem to have been the cause.
Smoking can cause it. Recurring polyp needs to be evaluated for cancer.
If your doctor has suggested you with this treatment, then take it. It is antibiotics+steroids.
If symptoms persists, then please get an laryngoscopic examination and biopsy of the polyp to rule out other causes like tuberculosis /cancer.
hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
