What Causes Cold,cough,fever And Chest Gurgling?
My 19th month old son has had a fever, runny nose, cough, girggling in his chest off and on since September. He has been in and out of the doctor since then and on an antibiotic several times up to 2 weeks at a time. His pediatrician ordered a chest x-ray last Friday and found a shadow around his heart. He is now having to go to a cardiologist for an EKG. What could be the problem?

Hello,
Common causes for runny nose, fever, chest congestion, and cough are viral or bacterial infections, allergies to formula, etc. Heart diseases may cause cough and chest congestion. Since you are advised to consult cardiologist, he will rule out possibility of heart problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
