Whether or not the recurrent laryngeal nerve can be treated is related to the cause of the injury. If the injury is caused by tumor compression, it can be treated, but if it is caused by surgery, it cannot be treated.
If the injury is caused by tumor compression, the laryngeal recurrent nerve can be treated. If the laryngeal nerve injury is caused by tumor compression, etc., it can be treated with symptomatic treatments such as nerve nourishment after surgery to relieve the compression.
If it is caused by surgery, such as thyroid surgery, the laryngeal recurrent nerve can not be treated. If it is a unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, it can be restored to normal phonation after half a year by compensating for the recurrent laryngeal nerve on the healthy side. If the laryngeal nerve injury is bilateral, there will be paralysis of the vocal cords and breathing difficulties requiring a tracheotomy or the option of a vocal cord graft.
It is important to seek medical attention for further treatment of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
