Patient's question:
My son is five years old this year. Since he was born, he has been suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy. Over the years, his condition has been in and out of remission, but it has never been fully cured. Therefore, I would like to consult a doctor. Hello, what kind of medicine should be taken for dilated cardiomyopathy in children?Doctor's answer:
Dilated cardiomyopathy in children can utilize immunosuppressive drugs as well as some symptomatic relief medications. Personally, I believe prevention and daily dietary and lifestyle adjustments are more important. Daily attention should be paid to reducing the child's immune system and preventing respiratory infections. The diet should be high in protein, vitamins, and nutrients, easy to digest, avoid stimulating foods, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and prevent strenuous exercise and excessive fatigue.
