Patient's question:
Hole outside the small mouth of thick one week ago tested, careful examination results: no test. Treatment and effect: the hospital has prescribed medicine, the effect has not been seen. I want to ask how to prevent work.Doctor's answer:
A person with a preauricular fistula infection who shows no symptoms does not require treatment. If the infection becomes inflamed, it should be treated with antibiotics or other anti-infection medications, or through abscess incision and drainage, local medication changes, etc. Once the infection is suppressed and the local area has fully healed, the fistula resection can be performed. Before the surgery, a small amount of methylene blue is infused into the fistula, and a probe is inserted into the lumen to guide the procedure. The fistula and its branches should then be completely removed in one go. If any part of the fistula remains and the infection recurs, it becomes very difficult to perform surgery again.
