Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

As per your description, it could be a ventricular septal defect. I will like to see a detailed report and age of your child, so I can comment in details. Still, I think 4mm VSD should close on its own depending on the type.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rushikesh Kute
