Myocarditis is one of the common heart diseases in children, belonging to diffuse inflammatory lesions or local myocardial lesions. If a child suffers from diseases such as myocarditis, it will cause great harm to their body. So, what should children do if they have myocarditis?
When children suffer from myocarditis, they should pay more attention to bed rest, reduce the burden on the heart, actively resist viruses and anti-inflammatory drugs, and improve myocardial metabolism treatment. If accompanied by arrhythmia, one should rest in bed for 2 to 4 weeks and gradually increase activity. If myocarditis is severe and accompanied by heart enlargement, one should rest for six months to a year until the symptoms completely disappear.
Myocarditis can cause many abnormal symptoms, and the methods used vary depending on the symptoms. Children with myocarditis can supplement with zinc, which is an essential trace element that has a significant impact on the heart. It can repair myocardial cell damage caused by myocarditis, stabilize cell membrane structure, and inhibit lipid peroxidation reactions.
Parents can give their children more protein rich foods, such as soy products, lean meat, fish, meat, eggs, seafood, etc. Eat more fruits and fresh vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, apples, oranges, pears, etc., and eat less spicy and greasy foods.
