Patient's question:
My baby is only 24 days old, and she is crying and fussing a lot now. She was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect right after birth. When she chokes on milk, her lips turn purple. So, I would like to consult about which department to see for a pediatric ventricular septal defect.Doctor's answer:
Congenital ventricular septal defect is the most common type of heart disease in children with ventricular septal defects. It usually closes on its own before the age of three. If it does not close on its own, surgery or arterial occlusion is required. It is important to avoid wind and cold stimuli and prevent colds. The mother can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which is beneficial for symptom recovery. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a congenital disease with a family history and a common heart disease. Children with ventricular septal defects show no abnormalities in the early stages. This means the defect is not very large, but for the child's safety, it is best to take the child to the hospital for relevant examinations and consult with a doctor. Surgery is required.
