I found out I have mitral valve prolapseAML in February, and I'm wondering if homeopathy can completely treat it. I also tend to get anxious pretty often. Could you tell me if homeopathy might help with that too?

Question

My one-year-old has a heart condition with a hole, about 104 mm in size. He weighs 7 kg, but his birth weight was 2 kg, and I'm worried because it seems like he's not gaining weight as he should for his age. Can you help me understand what's going on and what we can do about it?

Question

I'm really worried about my three-year-old nephew who had open heart surgery on Tuesday for a block and a hole in his heart. He's been on a ventilator since then. Today, the doctors mentioned there is some bleeding, and now he's having seizures. They've also asked us to get an epicetam injection. Is this a common occurrence after such surgeries, or should we be more concerned? The surgery took place at PGIMER Chandigarh.

Question

I'm really worried about my baby girl. She's only 2 months old and was born preterm at 35 weeks. The doctors say she has a 6mm VSD, 3mm ASD, and moderate PDA, all left to right shunt. Her weight is 3.5kg right now. We've spoken to 23 pediatric cardiologists and they all recommend surgery, but were confused about the timing. Some say it should be done immediately, others suggest before she turns 6 months, or when she reaches 1 year and weighs about 10kg. Right now, she seems to be okayshe's gaining weight, feeding well, and has no symptoms related to the VSD. We just want to make the right decision for her. When would be the best time for the surgery?
