Sorry - we can't answer this question. This is something his doctor and family must decide.

In general his symptoms are concerning and a doctor specialized in heart medicine concerning children (pediatric cardiologist) must be consulted.

If his minimum heart rate is 3 BPM with complete heart block and junctional escape rhythm this must be taken care of immediately.
