First time she had fever of temp 102 to 104 . Immediately she was admitted to army hospital in india. Doctor checked and suggested my sister and brother in law that they have done a bad decision to take her during that much of age. She has been kept in ICU with oxygen.
The reason I have asked you this is to know what might be the problem with this symptoms-
1. She had high fever of 102 to 103
2. Heart beat should be 130 for normal baby but doctor found 100 more beats.
3. She is getting difficulty with normal oxygen.
4. After proper medicine, fever controlled and came down to normal but right leg has
swollen .
5. Doctor advised my brother in law to get an ECO test for her.
Please advice or suggest what are the symptoms exactly?

The cause of a congenital heart defect is often unknown.Certain cases may be due to infections during pregnancy such as rubella, use of certain medications or drugs such as alcohol or tobacco, parents being closely related, or poor nutritional status or obesity in the mother. Having a parent with a congenital heart defect is also a risk factor.
