How Should Heart Murmur In A 6 Year Old Be Treated?
Question: Want to consult Pediatric Cardiologist for my 6 years old daughter.
Brief Answer:
Please upload the echo report
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You mentioned about murmur. So we have see the cause for murmur, it may be just a flow murmur which are normal or related to VSD or other congenital heart disease. So all children with murmur should undergo Echocardiography to look for the cause. So if echo is done for your child then please upload the report or if not then should get an echo done. Also, let me know her symptoms if any. If any evaluation by primary physician is there, then may upload it as well.
Hope this helps you and get back with some more information.

Sir please let me know where i can get her Echo done. There are very few pediatric Cardiologists in my city.
Brief Answer:
BJ Medical college and sassoon hospital
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You may visit a hospital where all the facilities are available. However, majority of adult cardiologist also perform pediatric ehoes and consultation as dedicated pediatric Cardiologist are very few in the country. So adult cardiologist only see. Also, any tertiary care hospital will have this facility, so you may just call and ask them for pediatric cardiology appointment.
All the best.
