What should be done if a newborn with myocarditis does not breathe?

Patient's question:

My baby is 1 year and 3 months old. In the past ten days, she has had a cold, fever, and red spots on her body. Initially, she was treated for a viral cold with intravenous drips for three days, but her temperature did not decrease significantly. I would like to consult if my baby might have myocarditis and is having breathing difficulties?

Doctor's answer:

The condition of this infant cannot be improved. The symptoms of myocarditis usually begin like a cold: sore throat, nausea and vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, discomfort in the stomach, diarrhea, runny nose, cough, general malaise, and some muscle and joint pain may also occur. However, the symptoms of myocarditis in these babies will gradually improve or disappear. It is best to follow the advice of the local doctor and seek treatment as soon as possible.
