Question
A five-year-old child fell and injured their face one month ago, and the wound has healed but left a swelling. What could be the cause, and what treatment suggestions do you have?
Answer
The possible cause is tympanic membrane inflammation due to the injury. It is recommended to undergo a surgical examination to determine the cause and consider taking X-rays to check for bone damage. In cases of bone damage, the chance of complete recovery is lower, but you can try cold compresses to promote healing.
