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. Can rotavirus cause myocarditis?Doctor's answer:
Rotavirus can potentially cause myocarditis, although it is less common in cases of viral myocarditis. The most common pathogens for viral myocarditis are Coxsackie viruses. Currently, your child already has high fever and abnormal ECG results, so there should be a high level of vigilance regarding the possibility of viral myocarditis. It is recommended to visit a pediatric specialist hospital for a follow-up examination to confirm the diagnosis. Currently, it is advised to rest sufficiently, avoid strenuous exercise, actively treat upper respiratory tract infections, pay attention to fluid intake, and consider antiviral treatment if necessary.
