Patient's question:
My best friend's son recently said he wasn't feeling well and didn't like to be active. Sometimes, after walking a few steps, he would say he felt very tired. His heartbeat was very fast, and sometimes he would feel his heart racing for no reason. His breathing was a bit hurried. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as myocarditis. Hello, what are the symptoms of myocarditis in children?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of early childhood myocarditis are palpitations and fatigue. The child feels very tired after a short period of exercise. If the condition worsens, it may lead to multiple episodes of generalized edema and difficulty breathing. Currently, the child must be hospitalized for treatment, which includes nourishing the heart muscle and taking antiviral medications. At the same time, it is important to rest, with a minimum of three months of rest required. During this period, physical activity should be reduced. The initial treatment of myocarditis is the most crucial. If it is not fully resolved at the beginning, there will definitely be long-term consequences.
