hello Doc.I have a two day old nephew (3.5 kg birth wt.), who is diagnosed with 3mm hole in heart.(they did echocardiogram). He had difficulty in breathing after feed (for which he was monitored and tested). All his other functions are very normal. How serious is this? We all are worried.
Hi, It depends on the hole location. If he has difficulties of breathing he may need an operation, for the correction of hole. Usually the results of operation are good and child Chat Doctor. Hope I could help nourishing a good health to your nephew In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
