• Are heart murmurs normal in children?

My daughter's pediatrician heard a heart murmur in her last appointment, but her doctor said that it isn't serious because she never had heart issues and only a fever at the time. Is it normal for heart murmurs to appear in a child with a healthy heart?

Heart murmurs are very common in children, particularly when febrile. It can be normal.
