What Causes Occassional Pain In The Area After Being Operated For A Hole Near The Ear?
Dear Sir, My Age:-20 Weight:Around 45-50 Height:-163cm 5 3 Sir, last yr i had a micro operation near my ear(outside) exactly where the ear starts from up side...to close a birth hole. It was a little hole. It was never a problem to me. I had this hole on both side of my ears. However left one was little bigger & also discharged some fluid like liquid. So the doctor decided to operate upon it. & it was good. After d operation everything was going well however after 8 months during winter season it strted giving me pain & swollen later. The doctor forecfully pressed the peep out _ & dressed it well & gave some medicines. She said d thread we used to seal d skin didnt disolve properly inside body. It was again fine for some 11months & again d same problem came up...bt this tym we showed them littke yearly so situation was under control quickly. So till now after dat no problem. Still i feel sometimes a little pain in my ear...not d area operated & dat too occasionally. I guess 2 times....& it happens in winter season only. My query is has everything went right? As wat d doctors did? The doctos r 1 of the best. They r army doctors. Still i doubt becz i heard dat before operating d doctor should hv given medicines to dry it up frm inside....this was not done by my doctor. Also while operating she said oh! Its so big frm inside, i didnt expect dat much to her assisstant. Plz sir guide me. It has seriuosly affected my studies. The doctor who operated upon me has been transfered to some other place now. HOWever her senior is stilll der & knows my case very well. He says everything is allright nothing to worry. The doctors called it FISTULA(SPELLING MIGHT BE WRONG)
From your description it is clear that you had pre auricular sinus/fistula.During winter or during episodes of flu it can get infected causing pain swelling discharge.Surgery is performed due to repeated attacks.Usually surgery is done once it is dry/ non infected.One cause of recurrence is inadequate excision.In such cases revision surgery solves the problem
