Question
A 6-year-old girl, a friend’s child has an unusual ear shape, and the external auditory canal is narrow. How should congenital ear deformities be handled?
Answer
Based on your description, congenital ear deformities generally cannot be corrected on their own. It is recommended to wait until the child grows up and seek medical treatment for surgery. Parents should not worry as this will not affect the child’s health. Pay attention to the baby’s care to avoid catching a cold. In addition, patients should maintain regular routines, keep warm and prevent colds, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of hot water to strengthen their physique and prevent diseases.
