Hi,
With rest, some vocal cord polyps will go away on their own within a few weeks. Most, however, have to be removed surgically.
The most common treatment options for benign vocal cord lesions include: voice rest, voice therapy, singing voice therapy, and phonomicrosurgery, a type of surgery involving the use of microsurgical techniques and instruments to treat abnormalities on the vocal cord.
Try voice rest and voice therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
