Why is a newborn held their breath during a heart murmur check?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that the condition may worsen. Could you please explain why the child needs a heart murmur check during the newborn screening?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this condition belongs to heart disease, which is also a common situation. Generally, symptoms become obvious when the size is greater than 3MM, especially during physical activity. Surgical repair can be used for treatment. With current technology, there is no need to worry. It is important to pay attention to local hygiene after surgery to prevent colds.
Hello, this is caused by an infection. It is recommended to use antibiotics for anti-infection treatment, increase nutritional intake, supplement vitamins and trace elements, avoid bad stimuli, maintain a good mood, and get adequate rest. The medication is Azithromycin tablets.
