A member asked:

They suspected apvr and has two secdum asd is 3 yrs old he has a cough with flem should i be worried the cough can cause his heart to have trouble?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The cough and mucus are likely secondary to a viral illness or allergies. While he will be miserable for a few days, it will resolve. It will not harm his heart. At his age, it is about time to consider repair of his heart defects.
