I have vocal nodules. Please suggest home remedy.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If vocal nodules are confirmed by a doctor then there are a few things which you should know. Vocal nodules are small thickenings in both vocal cords which usually occur secondary to excessive voice use and very common in singers, teachers, and any professional voice user. More than 99 percent of vocal nodules resolve with simple measures such as voice rest, steam inhalation, drinking warm water frequently to avoid throat dryness and sometimes voice therapy may be required. Only one percent of vocal nodules need surgery especially in people who do not follow the above measures. So you need to continue voice rest, steam inhalation, drink warm water, have two teaspoons of honey three times daily (it prevents excessive dryness).

I hope this addresses your concerns.

Please feel free to follow up if you need any additional clarification.

Thank you.

Vocal nodules will resolve slowly. There is no other way than giving rest to vocal cords. Steam inhalation is the only method of accelerating the healing process. Medicines are not helpful. You can take acidity tablets such as tablet Pan D once daily before food for five days to avoid acid reflux which further delays healing.

Usually, it takes five to seven days for a full recovery. Even after recovery, you should be careful about voice use. There can be a recurrence.

Kindly send doctors report or endoscopy report which has confirmed vocal nodule. Anyway without voice test vocal nodules will not resolve. Probably lockdown will help you to give adequate voice rest.
