What is the treatment for each branchial cleft cyst type?

Each branchial cleft cyst type might require different treatment. Some potential treatments your healthcare provider may recommend include:

• Antibiotics to treat infected cysts.
• Surgery to remove the cysts.
• Partial thyroidectomies. This surgery is recommended if you have third/fourth branchial cleft cysts that affect your thyroid.
