Hi,
If your child has chills and fever, it is normal to have palpitation and heart pounding, they will disappear when fever is treated .
Heart murmur is seen quite frequently among children, usually it is benign.
I would advise you to see your doctor, as chills and fever can be caused by some infection.
Hope I could help you
Wishing your child good health
