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?

I'm concerned about my 2-year-old. He has a heart murmur and is scheduled for a heart scan in a couple of months. I've noticed he gets nosebleeds every few months as well. Could the nosebleeds be connected to the murmur? Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms?
Nose bleeds and heart murmurs are not typically directly related. Nose bleeds in children can be caused by various factors such as dry air, allergies, or minor trauma. However, in some cases, certain heart conditions can lead to bleeding disorders which may manifest as nose bleeds. It is important to wait for the results of the heart scan to determine if there is any connection between the two issues. In the meantime, you can consult with a pediatrician to address the nose bleeds and monitor your child's symptoms.
