Cough and purple hands/feet
I have a 3 year old toddler who was born with congenital heart disease. She has had open heart surgery to fix it almost 2 years ago. Since yesterday, she has had a cough and purple hands/feet. But it goes away after a little bit and she acts normal. It's weird because she will touch her chest and freeze up randomly and then a couple minutes later act normal. Is this normal? I'm starting to get worried and it looks like something might be bothering her. Please help

The symptoms you mentioned may be related to heart. As she is underwent heart surgery, it is better to be evaluated by Paediatric Cardiologist and Paediatric Cardiac Surgeon.
