Question
A hard lump has been found behind a child’s ear, which has been persistent for a week. It feels like bone, and it was diagnosed as a cyst in the local hospital. How should it be handled?
Answer
Cysts typically require surgical treatment, as medication alone is often ineffective. It is recommended to opt for minimally invasive surgery and pay attention to postoperative care to avoid infection. Additionally, children have weaker resistance and are more prone to pediatric general surgery diseases. Parents should take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly and conduct regular health checks.
