Childhood asthma and reflux are closely associated and likely of no concern. An infection in the chest may have no relationship with a heart murmur. Murmurs are common and not always bad. The best thing is to let them get control of the problem making him ill at the moment. After that, your doctor can decide if there is any need to worry about the murmur.
