Patient's question:
Only two weeks old, the child was discharged from the women and children's hospital with the suggestion to wait until the full moon before seeking medical attention. They had not yet gone to the hospital for a diagnosis...Doctor's answer:
The incidence of congenital microtia varies in literature and is related to ethnicity and geography. Recent reports in China indicate an incidence of 5.18/10,000. It is recommended that patients undergo plastic surgery and artificial ear reconstruction. Since pediatric external ear deformities can cause significant harm to patients, it is advised that they seek timely consultation with specialists and follow medical guidance for treatment. Daily activities can be appropriately performed, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
