Yes, there are non-surgical and natural approaches to managing vocal cord polyps, and consulting with specialists in India is a good idea. Non-surgical options include voice therapy, lifestyle modifications (hydration, avoiding irritants), and sometimes medication. Homeopathy and other alternative therapies are also explored by some. Specialized ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctors in India can provide comprehensive care and personalized treatment plans.
