Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication to control it regularly, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, what should I do if I have congenital heart disease?Doctor's answer:
My daughter has congenital heart disease. If the symptoms are not particularly severe, there is no need to worry excessively, as some congenital heart diseases may improve. If it is an atrial septal defect or a ventricular septal defect, there is a possibility of improvement within the first year of life. Give the baby more warm water to drink, pay attention to dietary nutrition, and carefully observe changes in vital signs. You can go to the hospital for a follow-up examination after the first year. Timely and stable treatment is necessary. If this situation occurs again, it is still recommended to undergo surgical intervention. Currently, it is advised to have the surgery performed as soon as possible, as earlier surgery will be more beneficial for the child's condition.
