Question

What are the dietary considerations for children with myocardial damage?

Answer

If a child experiences myocardial damage, it is often due to an immune response to a viral infection. Treatment usually involves intravenous administration of anti-infection and antiviral therapy. It is also important to avoid spicy, cold, and raw foods, and to adopt a low-sodium diet. Adequate rest and preventing colds are crucial as well. When it comes to dietary intake, it should be adjusted based on the child’s appetite and digestion. When introducing new foods, start with small amounts and gradually increase the portion as they adapt.
