My 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?

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?

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.
