How long does it take for a baby to recover after atrial septal defect surgery?
Disease description:
My baby just turned one and has already undergone surgery for atrial septal defect (ASD). However, the recovery hasn't been complete yet. I'd like to know how long it usually takes for a baby to recover after ASD surgery?

Usually, children can recover within about a month after the onset of the illness, but parents should continue to observe them closely. If any problems arise, you should go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible. Recovery after surgery is faster. Within 2 days, complications such as arrhythmia, heart failure, and infection should be avoided. After that, you can go home for care. Be sure to avoid strenuous activities in infants and provide adequate nutrition.
