What should be done if a three-year-old child has high myocardial enzymes?

Patient's question:

Ten days ago, the child had diarrhea, and after recovering, they developed high fever symptoms. Moreover, the fever was unstable—sometimes the temperature was normal, but after a while, it would rise again, usually between 37.1 and 37.5. The hospital tested for Mycoplasma and found no infection. Later, they tested for elevated myocardial enzymes and found that the creatine kinase isoenzyme was high, with the normal range being 24, but my child's result was 37.

Doctor's answer:

Now it is necessary to focus on consuming fructose, and also to supplement with vitamin C, as the nutritional effect of vitamin C on the heart muscle is most guaranteed. Next is coenzyme Q10. This medication needs to be taken for about half a month, after which a follow-up test should be conducted to check the heart muscle enzymes. However, low-grade fever is not caused by this, and a temperature of 37.5°C is considered low-grade fever, but it is not triggered by high heart muscle enzymes.
