Many parents are concerned about the health problems of their newborn babies after birth, and they also check for any abnormalities in their limbs and appearance. Sometimes, they may find a small hole in their baby's ear, which may pose a threat to their health. So, may I ask what is the reason for the small hole in their baby's ear?
The phenomenon of a small hole in the baby's ear may be caused by congenital preauricular fistula, which is due to the development of the gill arch or poor fusion during the fetal development stage. During this period, parents should pay attention to changes in the baby's skin and take local care to prevent infection and avoid adverse effects on the healthy development of the baby's ear.
If local skin redness, swelling, and pain are found in the baby, accompanied by secretions and obvious pain, parents should pay attention and take the baby to the hospital for detailed examination as soon as possible. If the diagnosis is caused by congenital preauricular fistula, standardized and effective treatment should be received to control the development of the disease and prevent the disease from worsening and causing greater damage to the baby's health.
In addition, if drug treatment does not control the development of the condition and the baby's condition is severe, parents also need to follow the doctor's advice and take surgical treatment measures. By performing fistula resection surgery, significant treatment effects can be achieved and the recurrence of the disease can be prevented from affecting the baby's healthy growth and development.
