Question
A lump has appeared under my neck, it’s inflamed, and the doctor said it’s a parotid fistula. What should I do?
Answer
Congenital parotid fistula is a common oral anomaly that typically requires surgical treatment. For children without infection, it is recommended to undergo surgery at a more appropriate age. However, if regional infection occurs, immediate medical attention should be sought to prevent the spread of infection. In addition, parents should pay attention to their child’s daily hygiene and follow the doctor’s advice for related care and treatment.
