Can vocal cord paralysis heal on its own?

Vocal cord paralysis is a disease that is very difficult to recover from. In addition to being unable to speak for a short period of time, you also have to pay attention to protecting your throat. If the vocal cords are not properly cared for, the vocal cords may be damaged again, causing unnecessary complications. Therefore, when problems with the vocal cords occur, you must check and treat them as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening.

1Recovering from vocal cord paralysis is difficult. If the vocal cord on the other side moves normally, over time it will most likely be able to compensate for the movement of the other side, and eventually the voice will gradually return to normal.

2 It may be idiopathic vocal cord paralysis, which can be treated with nerve nutrition, vasodilation, etc. If the hoarseness does not improve after half a year of observation, treatments such as adduction of the scoop-shaped cartilage, thyroid cartilage shaping, or vocal cord fat injection can be performed.

3 Yes, but it needs to be coordinated with professional voice (Dan) sound (Tian) training (Fa) training (Sheng). However, try to avoid surgery, because it is a treatment method that can cause serious damage to the vocal cords and can easily leave various sequelae.

4 In your case, you first need to go to the hospital for an electronic laryngoscopy to see the specific extent of your vocal cord damage and whether there are other space-occupying lesions. Some lesions can be treated through surgery, but some vocal cords may be chronically injured for a long time, and the treatment effect may be slightly worse.

5 You can learn from the Dantian speaking method to avoid active wear of the vocal cords. Let the focus of the sound rise to the pharyngeal muscles behind the uvula (commonly known as the "little tongue"), and use this part to cushion the impact of the sound. In this way, the vocal cords are less worn. This is what is called pharyngeal sounding in voice production. This is equivalent to indirectly giving the vocal cords a good rest, so that vocal cord diseases can be eliminated and slowly recovered.

6 When polyps appear on the vocal cords, the movement and closure of the vocal cords will be hindered, and the vibration frequency of the vocal cords will also be affected. The patient's voice will become low, and in severe cases, there will be hoarseness or even difficulty speaking. If the polyps are too large, they can block the airway and even cause breathing difficulties. So this surgery is needed to remove the polyp.

7 Vocal cord polyp surgery is suitable for patients with larger or fibrotic vocal cord nodules and long-term vocal cord polyps. When vocal cord rest, voice training and drug treatment are ineffective, surgical treatment should be adopted.
