Question
Doctor, hello! Which season is more suitable for pediatric surgery? Thank you!!!
Answer
Hello, some congenital heart diseases in children, such as atrial septal defect, may naturally heal within the first year of life. However, if it has not healed by the age of 1, surgical treatment is needed to avoid affecting physical development and recurrent lung infections and other complications. It is recommended to bring your child to a reputable hospital’s cardiothoracic surgery department for a consultation and surgical treatment, and you can also inquire about the cost issues. Thank you for your question, and wish you good health!
