A member asked:
I was vomiting for several hours with the flu a few days later i developed tonsils plus the ent found a polyp on my vocal cords what can i expect?

I'd expect nothing: Eventful. Vocal cord polyps are usually benign.And the ENT specialist would do a biopsy for anything suspicious for cancer. Drink lots of liquids, take vitamin c & lots of bed rest for your flu. Follow up with your primary care dr for any concerns.

Flu: Firstly you have to get through the flu, then the enlarged tonsil will have to be evaluated to make sure its no a bacterial infection there, lastly the vocal cord polyp needs evaluation to make sure its not a pre-cancer.
