Cardiologist,  's  Response
Thank you for your question! regarding your concern I think that you have nothing to worry about; the heart murmur of your son in his childhood seems to belong to innocent murmurs countered commonly at that age; and there are no chances that it can relapse again now; if a doctor notices a new murmur now by auscultating his heart sounds it is a different thing; I recommend a cardiac ultrasound if that would happen.
So the only thing that I recommend for your situation is to perform a simple physical examination check up to your GP.
Hope to have been of help to you.
