Hi I understand your concern for your child sir.I would like to reassure you first that you need not panic regarding the diagnosis and there is chance for spontaneous closure also. I would recommend you the following and you can act accordingly. 1.Make monthly visits to your Pediatrician and keep a track of your son's weight gain and clinical status. 2.Take advice regarding supplementary feeds if needed. 3.Take a medical consult even for a common cold or minor respiratory illness. 4.You can repeat an Echocardiogram at 6 months of age and take a cardiologist opinion. 5.Stay positive as most of the VSDs close spontaneously by 1 year of age.Even if required many advanced techniques have come nowadays in surgery. I would be pleased to help you further in this regard. Dr.V.S.Sri Vidhya Chennai
