I'm really worried about my 9-day-old baby who weighs just 3kg right now. The doctors mentioned something about an 8mm ostium secundum ASD and a left to right shunt. Can you explain what this means for my baby? Does this require immediate treatment or monitoring? Is there a chance it could affect their growth or overall health? I've also noted their birth weight was 2.88kg. I'm hoping to understand this better, as I'm quite anxious.

My 1.5-month-old son was diagnosed with 1108mm c shunting ltrt. Can this resolve on its own or does he need surgery? How long can we wait before deciding? He's breathing a bit fast and has had a cold since 23 weeks. I've attached his report what do you suggest?
In your 1.5-month-old son’s case, C-shunting may resolve on its own, but surgery is often required for significant cases. Consult with a pediatric cardiologist for a more accurate assessment.

My daughter is 7 and has started complaining about chest pain recently. She had a brain hemorrhage right after birth but recovered well from that. She never mentioned any pain like this before. Could you please give me some advice on what might be causing this?
Chest pain in children can have various causes, including respiratory infections, muscle strain, or even anxiety. However, given your daughter's history of a brain hemorrhage, it is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions. I recommend you take her to a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can give her Children's Tylenol (acetaminophen) at a dose appropriate for her age and weight to help with any discomfort.
