Patient's question:
I have always had problems with my ears. I often feel like there's water in them, and it feels like earwax. My hearing isn't clear, and when it gets inflamed, it even leaks purulent discharge, which is very disgusting. How should I handle an inflamed preauricular fistula?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to choose the right time to completely remove it. Because after an infection occurs in a pre-auricular fistula, it often leads to scar adhesion, making drainage even more difficult. It will inevitably lead to a second, third infection, ultimately forming a purulent fistula and scar. Therefore, surgical treatment is the most effective method for complete eradication, and it should not be deceived by the temporary recovery achieved through medication and injections.Congenital pre-auricular fistulas pose significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized medical facility under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is advisable to drink more water and pay attention to dietary issues. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
