Question
My baby is 1 year and 3 months old. Over the past ten days, she has had a cold, fever, and red spots on her body. Initially treated for viral flu, she received an intravenous drip for three days, but her body temperature did not drop significantly. What should I do if my baby with myocarditis stops breathing?
Answer
The baby’s condition is not improving. The symptoms of myocarditis usually start like a cold: sore throat, nausea and vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, discomfort in the stomach, diarrhea, runny nose, cough, general discomfort, and some may also experience muscle and joint pain. However, these symptoms in babies with myocarditis will gradually improve or disappear. It is best to follow the advice of the local doctor and treat the baby as soon as possible.
