Vocal cord granulomas are usually from trauma. They quite often fall off. It is important that you are examined below the vocal cords to be sure that there was not also injury from the endotracheal tube in that area as well. If vocal granulomas do not fall off soon enough, they can be injected with steroids. At times they can be removed.
