Question 1

My baby is 4 months old and was born with pulmonary atresia and VSD. They already had a BT shunt surgery on the right side, but now the doctor says two more open heart surgeries will be needed at 4 and 14 years for pulmonary artery and VSD correction. Is there any other solution or a way to fix everything in just one operation instead of two?

Accepted Answer

cardiologist opinion is advised.

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

cardiologist and psychiatric opinion is advised

Question 3

My son was born in September 2018 and is now 3 years 2 months old. In May 2021, we found out he has an 8mm hole in his heart, and it still hasn't closed as per his September report. We're worried if it will close on its own or if he needs surgery. Could this affect his health or life in the long run? What should we do next?

Accepted Answer

An 8mm hole in the heart, especially at this age, is unlikely to close spontaneously and may require intervention. While not all holes in the heart need surgery, larger ones like 8mm typically do. This can affect the child's heart health in the long run, potentially leading to complications like heart failure or arrhythmias. The next step is to consult with a cardiologist for a detailed assessment and discuss treatment options, which may include surgery or a catheter procedure.

My 1.5-month-old son was diagnosed with 1108mm c shunting ltrt. Can this resolve on its own or does he need surgery? How long can we wait before deciding? He's breathing a bit fast and has had a cold since 23 weeks. I've attached his report what do you suggest?

In your 1.5-month-old son‚Äôs 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.
