Question
What should I do if my child has vocal cord polyps but doesn’t experience any pain?
Answer
Vocal cord polyps may not be a severe issue, but they can impact a child’s ability to speak. The polyps can grow over time and sometimes even lead to breathing difficulties. Early detection and treatment are crucial. In most cases, vocal cord polyps can be removed surgically. However, surgery is not always necessary, as some polyps may resolve on their own. In some situations, doctors may recommend observing the polyps for a period to determine if they will grow larger. If your child is diagnosed with vocal cord polyps, consult with your doctor for the best treatment plan.
