How to quickly and effectively cure congenital heart disease in children

In modern society, many families have only one child. However, if the child is born with a disease or defect, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the family. Congenital heart disease in children is such a disease. So today we will tell you whether congenital heart disease in children can be cured.

Let us first understand what congenital heart disease is: Congenital heart disease is the most common type of congenital malformations, accounting for about 30% of all congenital malformations. This disease refers to anatomical abnormalities caused by formation disorders or developmental abnormalities of the heart and large blood vessels during embryonic development, or the failure of channels that should close automatically after birth to close (normal in the fetus).

So is there any quick treatment for this disease? In fact, we want to tell you here that the saying "disease comes like a mountain and goes like a thread" makes sense. Even if an adult is sick, he needs to be treated slowly and get better little by little, let alone a baby of a few months old. Therefore, being impatient for quick results will only has the effect of stunting the growth of the seedlings, which will not help the child's treatment and health. If you want to cure congenital heart disease, you must follow the doctor's advice for treatment.

Here we will tell you about the precautions for congenital heart disease:

1. Avoid colds: Among children with congenital heart disease, 70 to 80 percent of them have heart malformations such as ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. These children have congested lungs and are prone to colds and pneumonia, especially in winter, when they are more likely to get respiratory infections and worsen heart function.

2. Control the environment: Try not to go to crowded public places to avoid infectious diseases; open windows frequently to let in fresh air to avoid colds and respiratory infections.

3. Dietary issues: Many children with congenital heart disease have small appetites and are thin. Parents are often very anxious and try every means to get their children to eat more or take some appetite-stimulating medicine. This is also a wrong understanding. In fact, children's small appetites are largely caused by heart disease. After the heart disease is cured, most children will have an increased appetite, weight gain, and improved growth. Before heart surgery or interventional treatment, it will not be very effective for children to just take appetite-stimulating medicine or eat more food.
