Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Heart murmurs are not normally found in children. Either they suggest structural heart defects or sometimes they may be functional due to anaemia. In any case you should not ignore a heart murmur and get it investigated. Please do see the cardiologist.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
