You're concerned about your 6-year-old child having rheumatic heart disease (RHD). This condition develops after strep throat infections. Signs like chest discomfort, breathing issues, and tiredness may appear. Confirming RHD requires tests like echocardiograms. Treatment involves medication to control symptoms and prevent complications, plus regular cardiologist visits. Remember, prioritize a nutritious diet and physical activity for your child's heart health.

Your baby unfortunately has a double aortic arch, which is a makeup of his heart and vessels. It means the aorta, a major blood vessel, does not take its usual path. That is why children may have trouble breathing and difficulty swallowing. The good news is that this can be treated with surgery performed after the baby is born for most of the children. Doctors will talk more about what that means and guide you through it.

A 2mm perimembranous VSD refers to a tiny opening in the heart. Whereas, right renal dysplasia signifies improper formation of the right kidney. Occasionally, the hole might naturally close as the baby develops further. However, if it persists, surgical intervention may be needed once the baby grows older. The likelihood of surgery depends upon the baby's progress over time. Ensure regular follow-ups with your doctor to provide optimal care for your baby.

Heart surgery in children may result from various factors such as congenital heart defects, infections and respiratory problems. Timely consultation with a pediatric cardiologist is key to proper evaluation and management. Late access to medical care may lead to complications.
