Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) is more.
And most common cause for arrhythmia in 5 month old child is congenital heart diseases (CHD).
So better to consult pediatric cardiologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of heart
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your child. Thanks.
