Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and following is/are recommended guidelines:
1. Since caused due to faulty development of the ear while the child is still in the womb thus it is a congenital condition and as such cannot CLOSE by itself.
2. As the pre auricular sinus has epithelium which can get obstructed & infected any time thus this blockage can lead to formation of abscess/cellulitis, thus one should watch out for:
. any pus discharge
. any sign of inflammation (pain,redness, swelling)
. fever
3. At her age Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment/choice,talk with an ENT surgeon to know when your child is fit for surgery.
