Hello,
After going through the medical details of your son, I understand your concern for his health, and I would like to tell you that listening to a heart murmur is common in fever but should be evaluated to exclude the underlying heart disease. Chances of having heart disease in your case are very less but kindly get an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography done for him to find out if he has any structural heart disease is present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
