Question
My baby was diagnosed with congenital heart disease during a cardiac ultrasound and chest X-ray at two months old. I would like to inquire about the severity of the condition, the appropriate time for surgery, and the approximate cost of the surgery. My baby gained three pounds in weight at three months old; is this normal?
Answer
Based on the provided test results and the baby’s condition, the child has been confirmed to have congenital heart disease. The appropriate time for surgery needs to be determined based on the test results and the baby’s specific situation. The cost of the surgery will depend on the surgical plan, and full recovery is typically expected after surgery. In China, there is a higher subsidy for congenital heart disease surgeries, and specific information can be obtained from local medical institutions. The increase in baby’s weight is within the normal range.
