[hpe] Nodule in Vocal chord

[Guillermo]

Rochelle

Both nodules and polyps produce hoarseness and a breathy voice.
Polyps are in general soft, and nodules are soft or hard depending on the
time of appearence (hard = chronic)
Both can be produced by misuse of the voice, but in polyps may be also an
allergic predisposition or irritants (cigarette smoke)
For polyps surgery is the first choice, physio and voice training therapy
are intended to prevent a new polyp
For nodules physio and voice training therapy are the first choice, surgery
if they don´t solve the problem.

It is very common in teachers, they have to talk a lot and if they misuse
their voice, they get it.
If the patient is anxious, doesn´t like confrontation and has to be in front
of a public, teaching, it is quite possible that she is misusing her voice.

VOICE, hoarse, overuse of the voice
1 acon, 1 alum, 2 arg-m, 2 arn, 3 ARUM-T, 3 CAPS, 3 CAUST, 1 col-a, 1
ferr-p, 2 kali-p, 2 mang, 2 nat-m, 2 phos, 3 RHUS-T, 2 sel, 1 seneg, 2 still

Physio and voice training therapy generally include relaxation exercises
because anxiety is present in many cases.
Her anxiety may be producing her larynx symptoms.

I hope it helps

Dr. Guillermo

Anyone treated a nodule in a fold of the vocal chord which means the
patient can't talk above a whisper . This unfortunately has come on
since I have been treating her for IBS type symptoms quite
successfully although it is now back again she tells me!! All I
have found is RU, Throat; phen; NODULES:, ign[3], lach[3] umless
anyone knows of anything else. Ignatia appears to be for nodules of
the tonsil and I don't think "Throat " is specific enough.

In Murphy I found Diseases; NODULES,, agar[2], am-c[1], ant-c[1],
arg-n[1], ars[1], ars-i[2], aur[1], bar-c[2], bor[1], bufo[1], calc
[1], carb-an[2], caul[1], caust[1], chel[2], chin[1], cic[1], cinnb
[1], clem[2], con[1], dulc[2], graph[2], guai[1], iod[2], kali-c[2],
kali-s[1], lach[1], led[2], lyc[1], mag-c[1], mag-m[1], mang[2], merc
[2], mez[1], mur-ac[2], par[1], phos[1], puls[2], ran-b[2], rhod[1],
rhus-t[3], ruta[1], sars[1], sep[3], sil[3], squil[1], staph[2],
sulph[3], ther[1], thuj[2], tub[1], verat[1]

She has done well on Carcand an eye infection cleared with
Staph.When she forst started with this problem in April I tried
Arg,M and then Staph with no real improvement.
