Symptoms of myocarditis in babies

Myocarditis does not only occur in adults. In fact, many children are also troubled by myocarditis. It may even affect their normal breathing, causing chest pain and even obvious shortness of breath. Severe cases may be accompanied by whole body convulsions and shock. Myocarditis is very harmful. These symptoms alone are enough to cause the child's body to be unable to bear it, so timely treatment is required.

Symptoms of Myocarditis

1. Different myocarditis symptoms vary. Some patients with myocarditis have milder heart symptoms, but often experience dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, and are prone to fever. In addition, breathing is generally rapid, and there is even swelling in the calf area.

2. Some cases of myocarditis have more severe symptoms, with the heart becoming significantly enlarged, heartbeats becoming abnormal, and heart sounds becoming chaotic. Such patients often have irregular heartbeats, very rapid breathing, and even pain in the chest. In more serious cases, there may also be symptoms of shock and whole body convulsions.

3. Some patients with myocarditis have relatively mild symptoms, but they often feel weak all over and easily feel panicky. If these patients can go to a specialist hospital for treatment as soon as they feel unwell, they can restore their health.

Daily care methods for patients with cardiomyopathy

1. Provide adequate nutrition and adopt a high-protein, high-vitamin, low-salt diet. Those with high fever should be given nutritious liquid or semi-liquid diets, and it is advisable to eat small meals frequently.

2. People with heart failure or severe arrhythmia must stay in bed and rest. Those with breathing difficulties should be given oxygen and placed in a semi-recumbent position if necessary. When heart failure has not occurred, avoid fatigue, prevent infection, maintain heart function as much as possible, and avoid or delay the occurrence of heart failure. Talk to patients, understand their thoughts and concerns, relieve their psychological pressure, take care of their diet and daily life, and promote physical and mental rest.

3. Observe changes in heart rate, heart rhythm, pulse, blood pressure, respiration, body temperature and urine volume, and pay attention to any edema and embolism symptoms. If any abnormality is found, notify the doctor in time and take appropriate measures.
