Patient's question:
A bump has appeared under the neck, it's inflamed. The doctor said it's a salivary fistula.Doctor's answer:
Congenital branchial cleft fistula is a disease that requires surgical treatment and should have little to do with the child's constitution. If there is no local infection, it is recommended to wait until the child is slightly older before performing surgery. However, if local infection occurs, surgical treatment must be carried out immediately.Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
