Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis:
Any child with congenital heart disease is susceptible to bacterial infection in the lining of the heart or valves. The symptoms are usually a constant rise in temperature with the impact of heart functions with some laboratory changes that suggest the presence of inflammation in the body. The doctor may be able to diagnose the condition by transplanting the blood and via cardiac ultrasound. It is important for parents to know that this inflammation can be largely prevented by giving a child who has congenital heart disease before and after any surgery, dental treatment or circumcision. Refer to your doctor to find out the name of the appropriate antibiotic and the recommended dose.
