Hi,I have noticed that my 16 month old has an irregular pulse rate,though only when he is lying flat asleep. He is otherwise very healthy.He is taking Amoxicillin for an ear infection.His pulse rate is slightly irregular missing a beat every 10 beats or so.When he is upright and awake his pulse is regular.Please could you advise on this.Thank you
Brief answer:Do an urgent ECG and echocardiography. Detailed answer:Your child has missed pulses during sleep. This is not related to ingestion of amoxicillin. This could be missed beats, you need to do an urgent ECG and echocardiography to rule out heart disease. Revert with above reports. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards: Chat Doctor.
