Child with fever and fast heart rate, CKMB 31 indicates myocarditis?

Patient's question:

Three days of sore throat and fever. Coughing.

Doctor's answer:

It should be a viral cold. Generally, viral infections cause fluctuating temperatures. If it's a simple viral infection, it's self-limiting. It's normal for fever to return after 7-8 hours of taking fever-reducing medication. Regarding whether she has myocarditis, she needs to have an enzyme test for the heart muscle done at a regular hospital. After the fever subsides, her heartbeat will stabilize. She must drink plenty of water and use damp towels to cool her face.
