I am babysitting my grandson, 4 y/o, ear ache promptd visit to pediatrician.  She stated he had a heart murmur and that he should be evaluated by his hometown pediatrician and she also recommended a workup by cardiologist.What signs and symptoms should we be aware of.
Hi, Chil Chat Doctor.  Anyway you should see a cardiologist to be in the safe side. In pathological heart murmur other pathological signs may be retardation of child grow, cyanosis during or after crying, eating and exercising, in such cases you may notice that a child turns blue or white. If your child has none of these symptoms, then most probably there is nothing serious. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions
