What medicine is good for vocal cord polyps

Nowadays, people in our daily life do not pay much attention to interpersonal communication and voice control. The unreasonable use of their vocal cords in daily life will cause the vocal cords to pronounce very frequently. Coupled with excessive fatigue, some problems with the vocal cords will occur. The most common one is hoarseness. This kind of vocal cord damage can be treated with medication, but it cannot be treated casually.

What medicine can cure vocal cord polyps quickly?

In fact, vocal cord polyps are benign proliferative lesions occurring in the superficial layer of the vocal cord propria, and can also be said to be a type of chronic laryngitis. Most patients with vocal cord polyps overuse their voices, and have personality traits such as irritability, temper, and impatience. Therefore, they are more likely to develop bad vocal habits such as overreacting and shouting than other people. Secondly, the degree of hoarseness of the patient is related to the size of the vocal cord polyps and the location of their growth. Usually, patients with larger polyps have more severe hoarseness, and vice versa. When polyps grow on the edge of the vocal cords, the voice will be obviously hoarse. When they grow on the upper surface of the vocal cords, the effect on voice is relatively small. Large polyps with a broad base can cause complete loss of voice. If a large polyp is located between the vocal cords, it may cause the patient to completely lose his voice and may even block the airway, causing difficulty breathing. Vocal cord polyps can generally be diagnosed through laryngoscopy (indirect laryngoscopy, fiberoptic laryngoscopy, electronic laryngoscopy, direct laryngoscopy, stroboscopic laryngoscopy, etc.).

As for the question of what medicine can cure vocal cord polyps quickly, there are generally three treatment options for vocal cord polyps.

If it is treated with medication, local physical therapy and nebulizer inhalation treatment can be given. You can also take some drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion, such as lansoprazole and rabeprazole. These are relatively effective drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion. They usually need to be taken half an hour before meals, one pill each morning and evening. These drugs can reduce the chronic inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa caused by laryngopharyngeal reflux, so that vocal cord polyps can heal faster.

The second type is general treatment, which focuses on vocal cord rest and voice training. It is mainly used to treat vocal cord nodules and also has a certain effect on vocal cord polyps.

The third is surgical treatment, among which vocal cord polypectomy is currently the main treatment for vocal cord polyps. It can be said that surgery is the only way to cure vocal cord polyps. At present, oral intralaryngeal surgical techniques are becoming more and more mature, and various types of lasers, micro-instruments, plasma knives and other resection methods are changing with each passing day. It is extremely rare for particularly large polyps to require laryngeal dehiscence surgery.

In addition, no matter what kind of treatment process, patients should limit smoking, drinking, and eating spicy and irritating foods, avoid coffee, strong tea, etc., and avoid contact with irritating gases, dust and other pathogenic factors. If the condition improves after treatment, but the patient is still exposed to risk factors such as excessive and improper voice use, smoking, etc., vocal cord polyps are likely to recur. Therefore, patients and their families should pay attention to avoiding possible pathogenic factors after surgery.
