Question
Baby boy, 7 years old, the ear shape of the child at a friend’s house looks different from other children, and the external auditory canal is narrow. Is congenital ear deformity considered a disability?
Answer
Based on the description, congenital ear deformity can be categorized as a disability, and it is recommended to undergo surgery in a timely manner. Surgery typically improves the condition. It is advised not to worry and to choose the appropriate time for surgery to promptly have the child undergo plastic surgery. In addition to treatment, patients should maintain regular schedules, keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ventilate frequently, drink plenty of hot water, and strengthen their bodies to prevent illness.
