Patient's question:
Recently I've been feeling quite tired, and my body is showing signs of poor health. Could this be the result of this disease? I would like to ask: Are there any methods to treat congenital preauricular fistula?Doctor's answer:
Hello, an ear fistula is a common congenital malformation, closely related to poor development during the embryonic period in the mother's womb. The symptoms are the discharge of foul-smelling, curd-like secretions due to decomposition. During infection, the surrounding area of the fistula opening becomes red, swollen, painful, or forms an abscess that ruptures. After an initial inflammation, the fistula can repeatedly flare up and rupture. Timely local anti-infection treatment is necessary. Do not self-exert pressure on the secretions in the fistula to prevent the infection from worsening. Generally, during infection, only symptomatic local anti-infection treatment can be applied, which cannot address the fundamental problem. Surgery is the only means of achieving a complete cure.
