The problem of patent foramen ovale is usually more common in infants and toddlers, but it is less likely to occur in babies who are able to eat on their own at around one year of age. If the child has not learned to move at a certain age, he or she should be examined in a timely manner and can be treated surgically, which is also beneficial to the child’s health. As a rule, the earlier this disease is detected, the earlier it is treated and the faster it recovers. Therefore, parents should not wait blindly, but should take their children to the hospital as soon as possible to ensure their health and cooperate with the treatment according to the doctor’s recommendations to avoid causing unnecessary harm to their children’s growth.
