Hi... nothing to worry about a heart murmur. 80% of the times many children have this like an innocent murmur, which does not have any structural heart defect. Moreover you told the child also had some loose motions and other flu like symptoms this also can cause similar murmur.
Unless the kid is having excessive forehead sweating or severe breathlessness or swelling of hands feet and abdomen along with respiratory distress, you need not worry about the heart murmur.
