Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Could you please tell me what the process is for surgery to correct a congenital preauricular fistula?Doctor's answer:
Hello, congenital preauricular fistula is a common ear disease. Squeezing the surrounding fistula orifice may occasionally secrete a small amount of viscous sebaceous gland-like material from the fistula orifice. Once infected, it becomes red, swollen, painful, and purulent, and can recur repeatedly. Congenital preauricular fistula can cause significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is advisable to drink more water and pay more attention to dietary issues. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
