Hi,

Nothing to worry. It is not at all an emergency. There is no need of immediate appointment. You need closure of the defect but not on an urgent basis. Intermittent illnesses will be just like normal children, except that if develops a pneumonia it may take a bit longer to get resolved- so keep her away from people with fever, cold and cough. See your doctor if she develops the same symptoms for early treatment of respiratory infections. I also strongly recommend pneumococcal vaccine for her.

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

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
