Suggest Treatment For Heart Murmur In A Child
My son, who is 5yrs old, has just seen a doctor and he said he has a heart murmur and suggested he sees a cardiologist. My son has also had 3 headaches within the last month 1 really bad that we had to go to the emergency room. The doctor is concerned that my child may have some type of infection due to his heart murmur that is going to is brain. If this is the case what would be the procedure as far as worst case scenario with making my child better?

Hello,
Heart murmurs are usually due to heart defects and patients with heart defects are prone to infections. I suggest you to consult a cardiologist for clinical assessment and treatment of infection.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
