<human>: I have a 9 year old son with a heart condition.he has had a fever on and off for the past week.sometimes he s burning up and other times he s cold to the touch. He s been suffering from headaches,he s pale and has darkish/red circles under his eyes and has been coughing on and off.Could it just be the flu or cold or could it be heart related?
<bot>: Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The symptoms you mentioned can be due to flu or any viral upper respiratory infection or also due to a bacterial infection like a pneumonia. Very unlikely it's related to heart condition. Although I am not aware of what condition he has but symptoms you mentioned doesn't make me think in lines of any fresh heart problem. You will have to consult a doctor for a complete examination and chest X-ray. Hope I answered your query. Happy to clear any further doubts. Take care.
