Patient's question:
Recently, there have been discomforts that keep getting worse gradually. How should congenital preauricular fistulas be properly handled?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fistulas are prone to occur. When inflammation is present with pus, antibiotics and incisional drainage are necessary. The most thorough treatment method is surgical excision of the fistula. During the surgery, all branches of the fistula should be completely removed to prevent recurrence. In addition to timely treatment, patients with congenital preauricular fistulas should pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. Thank you!
