Infants and young children, due to their low immune system, are easily susceptible to external bacterial and viral infections, which can lead to illnesses. In many cases, infantile endocarditis is caused by bacterial infections and occurs rapidly, with a dangerous condition. Therefore, once a baby is found to be infected with endocarditis, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. So, how to treat infantile endocarditis?
Infant endocarditis can be treated through surgery, but if the child does not experience symptoms such as valve perforation or tendon rupture, conservative treatment can also be chosen. It is best to determine the condition of the heart valve based on the results of echocardiography to determine the degree of damage to the heart valve. If the degree of damage is significant, valve replacement surgery should be considered for treatment.
Because many diseases, including endocarditis, can cause fever, parents and friends must pay more attention when their children experience fever symptoms. They should not blindly reduce fever and cool down, so as not to ignore the true cause of the child. They can observe the child's mental state when the child has a fever. If the child is feeling weak, it is best to seek medical examination.
In addition, parents and friends should also pay attention to the health of their babies when taking care of them. In addition to healthy diet, the temperature and humidity of the environment, the circulation of air, and hygiene conditions are also important. Indoor ventilation should be frequent to prevent the growth of air pollution and bacteria caused by poor air circulation, which ultimately affects the child's physical health.
