ENT: An otolaryngologist (ENT) is the specialist to see for vocal cord paralysis. Treatment options may depend on the cause of the paralysis and how much the paralysis is affecting your quality of life.

See ENT doctor.: Your ENT doctor needs to figure out why this has happened. You need to make sure there isn't something inside your chest pressing on the nerve. Then, your ENT doctor will discuss options to fix this problem either temporarily, or permanently. There are very good options.
