Patient's question:
My little one started kindergarten recently, and he suddenly fainted at school. It turned out he had myocarditis. When he came to, he kept saying he felt uncomfortable inside, and sometimes had a feverish sensation. What should I pay attention to when a child has myocarditis? Are there any foods he should avoid?Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to provide you with consultation. After the recurrence of myocarditis in children, it is important to pay close attention to rest for a period of time. Although there are no symptoms, the heart has not fully recovered to normal. During this time, strenuous exercise may lead to fainting or a recurrence of heart failure. This aspect needs to be paid close attention, as many cases of myocarditis can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy again in the 40s and 50s or later in life. At the same time, avoid overeating during dinner.
