Surgery is best: It is important to know exactly what is growing. Therefore, surgery is your best option. Surgery is safe, and scarring can be very minimal in the hands of an experienced surgeon.

Your options: Something this annoying may be worth removing surgically even though there's a tendency to leave fna-inclusive nodules for observation. There's some risk of damage to the nerve to your larynx, and there may be other options as well. Get a couple of opinions and good luck.
