Patient's question:
I have noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. Could you please tell me what symptoms are associated with congenital preauricular fistula?Doctor's answer:
Congenital preauricular fistula, generally, if it doesn't frequently recur, it doesn't need to be dealt with. If it's often irritated, it may become inflamed, and after the question, it tends to recur frequently. Today, when gently touching inside the earhole, it felt very painful. It could be due to a stomach issue, or it might be a case where ear cleaning was not done carefully, leading to congestion in the external auditory canal. Let's wait and see, pay attention to a light diet, and avoid water entering the ear. In fact, having congenital preauricular fistula is not scary at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
