View allMy daughter suddenly fainted while running and we later found out she has a hole in her heart. What are the treatment options for this? Can homeopathy really help cure it since I've heard it can treat surgical cases? Or will she definitely need surgery?
open heart surgery and catheter based procedure is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my 9-day-old baby who weighs just 3kg right now. The doctors mentioned something about an 8mm ostium secundum ASD and a left to right shunt. Can you explain what this means for my baby? Does this require immediate treatment or monitoring? Is there a chance it could affect their growth or overall health? I've also noted their birth weight was 2.88kg. I'm hoping to understand this better, as I'm quite anxious.
