What should be done about children's early heartbeats?

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 should I deal with early beats in a child's heart?

Doctor's answer:

Since the child currently has premature beats, it is necessary to further distinguish whether it is atrial premature beats or ventricular premature beats. Additionally, it is important to review the number of premature beats within 24 hours for the child. It is recommended that the child visit a local reputable hospital to consult the cardiology department for a follow-up examination. A 24-hour Holter monitoring should be conducted to thoroughly investigate the previously mentioned conditions. Based on the different examination results, the next treatment plan can be prepared.
