Question
The newborn was found to have a congenital absence of the left external ear canal after birth. I would like to inquire about the appropriate time for medical consultation, whether it should be treated immediately or wait until after the full month.
Answer
Based on the current situation, the child has been diagnosed with a congenital absence of the external auditory canal. It is recommended to go to a provincial level three-grade hospital for a detailed examination. If treatment options are limited locally, it may be necessary to go to large hospitals in Beijing or Shanghai for further examination and evaluation.
