I was diagnosed with sulcus vocalis in my right vocal cord and my doctor recommended voice therapy for a month but also mentioned surgery as an option. Can voice therapy alone fix this permanently or is surgery really necessary? I'm worried about going under the knife if therapy could work just as well.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for a few days now. It's not painful or hard to swallow, just kind of uncomfortable. I took a look and saw a small bump, like 1 cm or maybe smaller, at the back of my tongue. I can also see my epiglottis and my uvula seems to be touching it. Is this something I should be worried about? It's been four days with this sensation, and I'm not sure what to do.
Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to evaluate the bump on the back of your tongue and the uneasy feeling of something stuck in your throat
