Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't 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 a patent foramen ovale or an atrial 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, surgical intervention is still recommended. Currently, it is advised to undergo surgery promptly, as earlier surgery will be more beneficial for the child's condition.
