Patient's question:
Daughter is seven months old, has congenital heart disease, common asymptomatic type, often breathes with open mouth while sleeping, makes sounds, still doesn't recognize people, and doesn't smile consciously yet. The anterior fontanel is wider. I want to ask if this condition is developmental delay caused by congenital heart disease or if there is a problem with the brain?Doctor's answer:
It should be related to congenital heart disease and problems with brain development. It is recommended to go to a large hospital for an early check-up. Speak to the child more often and make more expressions with them. A child's initial learning ability is to imitate what you do, and they will follow suit. You can read some parenting books related to this and gain the relevant knowledge. This will not make you worry so much. It is recommended that you go to a regular and professional hospital for examination and treatment.
