Question
The child has a ventricular septal defect of 8.5mm and an atrial septal defect of 2.8mm, often gets colds and has a fever. How should this be handled?
Answer
After a confirmed diagnosis of congenital heart disease, surgical treatment can be considered. It is recommended to seek assistance from a large hospital in Beijing, as their technology is more mature and the risk is generally not high. In addition, parents should give the child enough attention and care, and take the child to the doctor in a timely manner to avoid misunderstandings and timely symptomatic treatment.
