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 is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. How should I care for a child with tuberculous pericarditis?Doctor's answer:
If it's tuberculous pericarditis, this is a relatively serious form of tuberculous disease. This inflammation, in terms of treatment and nursing care, is particularly troublesome. In addition to continuously using oral anti-tuberculosis drugs, it is more necessary to completely remove the extra inflammatory lesions through surgery. Besides, in nursing care, attention should be paid to preventing cold and keeping warm. In diet, more high-protein foods should be provided, such as eggs, chicken, and milk to supplement amino acids and reduce human immunity.
