Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Pericardiac hazziness is likely to be due to consolidation(Pneumonia) which is infective in origin.
If clinically the child had fever, cough or other respiratory symptoms its likelt yo be due to Pneumonia. Antibiotics should take care of it

Wishing you happy and healthy life
