Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. What is the reason for the baby's four-month-old tooth root being white?Doctor's answer:
The baby's gums are white, which might mean they're about to get teeth. Many babies start teething at four months, so there's no need to worry too much. Just make sure the baby gets proper nutrition and doesn't lack calcium, and everything will be fine. Regarding the rheumatic heart disease you mentioned, mitral valve stenosis and insufficiency, it's generally recommended to detect it early, control the primary condition, and consider heart valve replacement surgery. In later stages, anti-infection treatment, correction of heart failure, cardiac strengthening and diuretics, prevention of colds, low-sodium diet, and avoiding smoking and alcohol are advised.
