Question
Dear pediatrician, my child was just born and recently we found that his creatine kinase levels are elevated. At the same time, he has developed some rashes and is experiencing vomiting. I would like to ask if this condition requires immediate hospitalization treatment?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your child may have myocarditis, which is usually an immune response caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to undergo intravenous treatment to combat infection and viruses, and to avoid spicy, cold, and salty foods. Pay attention to rest and prevent colds. Additionally, it is suggested to take oral Sheng Mai drink and Astragalus Essence Oral Liquid to enhance the body’s constitution. In daily life, increase nutrition and engage in moderate physical exercise, eat more fruits and vegetables. Also, you can appropriately increase the intake of high-protein, nutritious foods such as milk, fish, soy products, lean meat, poultry eggs, etc., maintain a cheerful mood, ensure adequate rest, and supplement vitamins and proteins.
