View allI'm really worried about my 14-month-old baby who has been diagnosed with a hole in the heart. Can you please offer advice or guidance on what steps we should take next? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The treatment for this condition usually depends on the size and location of the hole. In some cases, the hole may close on its own over time. However, if the hole is large or causing symptoms, medication such as Digoxin and surgery may be required. Please consult with a pediatric cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
