hello there!
Thank you for asking, Mild to moderate VSDs have good prognosis if taken good care and treted early infections like respiratory or others. Normaly children between 6 and 24 months heal recover very fast from it.
So i am sure your doctor is very right. Just take care of infections and recurrences. the two things to care for are respiratory tract infections and anemia irrespective of the cause. if they are taken care of, good nutrition, good hygiene i am sure moderate VSD will be completely fine after 24 months of the babys age

Good Luck
