Papilloma: Certainly, your concern is valid and he should be evaluated by and ENT doctor with full exam and fiberoptic laryngoscopy. However, the "polyps" you mention, may be papilloma which are usually benign, but can involve the larynx extensively in some cases. This can be treated but sometimes can be a stubborn problem. Definitely, a biopsy is needed.

Uvula - the: Little globule that dangles from the soft palate, is part of the oropharynx. Enduring hoarseness warrant a professional look with a laryngoscope. Ent docs do this daily. Go.
