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 can acute myocarditis be treated?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of acute myocarditis, it is first necessary to identify the cause of acute myocarditis, which is often triggered during episodes of rheumatic fever or secondary to other infectious diseases as well as chemical drug poisoning. Treatment should be symptomatic and etiological, aiming to go beyond symptom relief and stabilize the condition. In the case of infectious treatment, cephalosporin or macrolide antibiotics are commonly used in clinical diagnosis. Additionally, while treating acute myocarditis patients, dietary adjustments should also be implemented. The diet should be based on light and nutritious principles, with a focus on high protein, high vitamins, high fiber, and avoiding foods that are extremely cold, greasy, and irritating, which are difficult to digest.
