Patient's question:
The child was just born and doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. What does it mean if the patent foramen ovale is detected to be 2.8mm?Doctor's answer:
Medications for congenital heart disease can be ineffective in some cases. It is recommended to undergo surgical repair as early as possible. Congenital heart disease generally involves excessive burden on the left and right ventricles, which can easily lead to heart failure. The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
