A member asked:

Good day, my daughter have preauricular ear sinus(little holes in the ear.) the one is infected. who can i go and see?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your doc: You can initially see the kids doc who can manage the initial infection. After this is treated & resolved a visit to an ENT would be advised. A surgical exploration and removal of the sinus tract will likely be needed to prevent further episodes.
