Question
Lately, my child has been crying and fussing a lot, which might indicate myocarditis. What should I do?
Answer
Patients with myocarditis should rest in bed, consume easily digestible foods rich in vitamins and proteins. Timely control of heart failure is necessary. For those with frequent premature beats or rapid arrhythmias, anti-arrhythmic drugs can be used. Medications that promote myocardial metabolism may have an auxiliary effect.
