Question

I'm pretty worried because my mom just had an endoscopy and they found her left vocal cord isn't working right the report mentioned something about left side vocal cord paralysis. The doctors said there's no infection and no clear cause, calling it idiopathic. They've suggested a CT scan, but I'm really anxious about what might be causing this. Can you shed some light on what could lead to vocal cord paralysis like this?
