When a baby gets born with a heart issue, their body doesn't receive enough blood flow. This condition, cyanotic congenital heart disease, causes a blue hue on their skin. The heart struggles to pump blood properly, leaving infants appearing tired and breathless. Doctors can improve blood circulation and heart function through surgeries. But catching it early and getting treatment right away is crucial.

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.
