toddler w/ blue lips
by Camille, Jan 18, 2001 12:00AM
Several times in the past few months, (fall and winter)I have noticed that my son's lips will turn blue, and the area around his mouth will turn pale blue/white. His lips also will get cold when this happens. This will happend when he wakes up, or some other time during the day. Doctors can find nothing wrong when they check his oxygen level, and hear nothing wrong with his heart.(Doctors will do an echo and EKG next week.) He is very fair-skinned, and I wonder if anyone has heard of this happening because of sensitive skin reacting to cold. How likely is this to be nothing to worry about? Thanks
