Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, what should be done about pediatric heart disease?Doctor's answer:
You must first clarify what kind of heart disease the child has before discussing the next steps in treatment. Heart disease is a broad category, so it's important to specify whether it's viral myocarditis or congenital heart disease. Since you haven't been clear about this, you need to take the child to a higher-level hospital for a follow-up pediatric consultation. First, undergo a thorough cardiac percussion examination, followed by an echocardiogram and other tests such as myocardial enzymes. Based on the results of these examinations, prepare for the decision on the next treatment plan.
