Hello,
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.

As per yuor description it seems that your are having vocal nodules,This is nothing but benign(non cancerous) swelling formed over vocal cord probably due to voice abuse like screaming or shouting.Sometimes minor throat infection also cause this.
You can do the following:
1.Absolute voice rest for a week.
2.Avoid hot and spicy food.
3.Do warm saline gargling.
4.Behavioral speech therapy may be needed in some cases.
You need a followup examination by your ENT surgeon to assess the progress,and further treatment may be tailored by him.
Hope this help.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr.Shinas
