Hi my baby who is only 7 months old is suffering from cold & cough from lady 15 days.. Doctor suggested me to go for chest X ray & report was ok. But doctor is saying that it may be due to some heart problem as he is getting 3rd sound from heart.. He is asking to go for Echocardiography test.. Pls suggest what are the symptoms of heart disease of infants and what should I do now..

If a baby has trouble getting oxygen or the heart is working extra hard, symptoms include: A bluish tint (cyanosis) to the skin, lips, and nail beds. This becomes worse when your baby cries or eats. Slower-than-expected growth and development (with more severe congenital heart defects).
Better to go for Echocardiography test.
