My granddaughter was born August 4 2010.  She had two holes one by her ear on one down a little on her cheek.  The pediatric ENT said it was nothing to worry about unless it gets infected.  It's infected.  She has been on antibiotics since October 2, 2013 and they just switch to a new antibiotic on October 14th, 2013.  It is quite swollen and red.  She lives in Lubbock Texas and so far none of the ENT doctors there have ever seen anything like it.  How do we find a pediatric ETN that is qualifed to treat her.  They said the surgery, if necessary is delicate because of the facial nerve.  One mistake had her face is paralyzed for life.  We can't find hardly any information on "type 1 branchial cleft anomaly"  How do we find the right doctor?  Can anyone out there give me any information?  I would so appreciate it. 

Thank you,
