I'm really worried about my baby who's been diagnosed with a hole in the heart. Can you recommend the best doctor for us to visit for a thorough check-up? Also, I've heard that there might be some Ayurvedic treatments available for this condition. Do you have any insights on whether that's a good option to explore?

I'm really sorry to hear about your baby's condition. For a hole in the heart (which could be a congenital heart defect), it's best to consult a pediatric cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and treatment options. While Ayurvedic treatments may help with overall health, they are not a substitute for medical intervention in such cases.
