Question
What should be done for a boy with congenital microtia and ear canal atresia on his right ear?
Answer
The treatment for congenital microtia primarily involves ear reconstruction and auditory function restoration. Generally, ear reconstruction is performed first, followed by auditory function restoration. The auditory reconstruction surgery may damage the skin behind the ear, so it should be carried out after the ear reconstruction. It is recommended that the patient bring their child to a specialist for consultation and medical guidance on treatment. In daily life, it is advisable to drink plenty of water, pay attention to diet, and hope for the child’s quick recovery.
