What Causes Fever Along With Chest Congestion?

My son has had fevers for three days and I took him to his doctor and seems like he doesn t have infection. But I am worried because he sounds congested and snores more than usual and right now he had like white bubbles coming out his mouth while asleep. Is it normal?

Hello,

No this is not normal. This can be due to either lung infection (pneumonia) or heart disease. So better to get done chest X-ray and 2d echo to rule out pneumonia and heart disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
