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. How is myocarditis treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The child has myocarditis, and this condition must be treated immediately. Severe myocarditis requires hospitalization for treatment, while mild myocarditis can be treated at home with strict care. Antiviral medication and drugs that nourish the heart muscle should be taken. The child needs to pay attention to rest and ensure at least three months of full rest. The initial treatment for myocarditis is the most important. If the first treatment is not thorough or the child does not rest for three full months, and if there is intense exercise in the meantime, it is very likely to lead to post-myocarditis syndrome.
