Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation of the child you mentioned, it cannot be determined from the symptoms alone whether they have myocarditis. Considering the symptoms, it is possible that they may be caused by a viral infection. In this case, it would be advisable to start with antiviral medication to see if the symptoms improve. Additionally, maintain a light diet and avoid foods that are too stimulating. Rest more, as this will also help a lot.
