Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice went to the hospital for blue light treatment. The doctor listened to the heart and said there was a faint murmur, suggesting an echocardiogram. Then today, jaundice was discharged, and an echocardiogram was done. After the echocardiogram, the doctor said it was simple and nothing was wrong, with a follow-up in three months. But I'm still very worried?Doctor's answer:
Don't worry too much about this. Since the doctor told you to come back, there won't be any major problems. The heart murmur is between normal heart sounds and other sounds can be heard. This is mainly due to the aortic valve and pulmonary valve, or atrioventricular valve being too narrow or closing too tightly. Don't be too tense, otherwise it will bring some unnecessary psychological burden to the child. We should go to the hospital for a check-up. Some congenital heart diseases, such as small atria, ventricular septal defects, and small patent ductus arteriosus, can resolve naturally. We just need to review on schedule, pay attention to strengthening nutrition, and avoid catching colds.
