My 1-month-old son was diagnosed with VSD and ASD. The report says he might need surgery or a device closure. Should we act on this right away or is it okay to wait a bit longer? What signs should we watch for if it gets worse?

If baby’s weight gain and oxygen levels are normal, wait; act if breathing, feeding, or heart symptoms worsen.

In your 1.5-month-old son’s case, C-shunting may resolve on its own, but surgery is often required for significant cases. Consult with a pediatric cardiologist for a more accurate assessment.

My daughter is 7 and has started complaining about chest pain recently. She had a brain hemorrhage right after birth but recovered well from that. She never mentioned any pain like this before. Could you please give me some advice on what might be causing this?
Chest pain in children can have various causes, including respiratory infections, muscle strain, or even anxiety. However, given your daughter's history of a brain hemorrhage, it is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. I recommend you take her to a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can give her Children's Tylenol (acetaminophen) at a dose appropriate for her age and weight to help with any discomfort.
