Laryngology - FAQ

Conditions include vocal fold nodules, polyps, cysts and scars, swallowing difficulties, subglottic stenosis, tracheal stenosis, and bilateral vocal fold paralysis. The appropriate evaluation and treatment depend on each patient's condition.

You may need an ENT evaluation if you experience persistent hoarseness or other voice changes, difficulty swallowing, or breathing problems that may be related to the larynx or upper airway. Seek emergency care for sudden or severe breathing difficulty.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include medical management, specialised voice therapy, and phonosurgery for selected vocal fold conditions. The treatment plan is determined following clinical evaluation.
