Question
When should newborns grow out their earlobes typically be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of newborn earlobe deformities, it is generally recommended to be done within a certain period after birth, with the specific time possibly varying based on the child’s health condition and the size of the earlobe. In some cases, doctors may opt to perform surgery when the baby is older, such as between 6 months to 1 year, to reduce surgical risks and improve treatment outcomes. However, this must be evaluated and advised by a professional physician. Additionally, if parents notice other suspected health issues in newborns, such as skin rashes and vomiting, they should immediately take their child to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Blindly using over-the-counter medications may have adverse effects on the child’s health, so parents should follow the doctor’s guidance, take medication reasonably, and closely monitor their child’s symptoms for timely management.
