What to do if your child's lips turn blue

As children grow up, parents are more concerned about changes in their children's bodies. After all, children's resistance is limited, and if any physical abnormalities occur, they are worried that it will have a greater impact. Many children have blue lips, and due to unknown reasons, many parents are caught off guard. So, what should we do if our child’s lips turn blue? Let’s take a closer look below.

The baby gets cold.

Solution to infant ischemia: add appropriate clothes to the baby.

Suggestion: Baby clothing should be loose, skin-friendly and soft. In addition, it is best to choose comprehensive textures to prevent baby allergies. You can also check at night to see if your baby kicks off the quilt.

Ischemia in infants.

Solution to infant ischemia: Add appropriate blood-enriching complementary foods to the baby.

Recommendation: Babies should gradually start adding complementary foods at 4 months old. They should eat half an egg yolk every morning. Mix the egg yolk with rice soup to make a porridge-like consistency and feed it to the baby with a spoon. At 6 months, babies should eat 3/4 of an egg yolk a day, at 8 months, one egg yolk, and at one year old, one egg a day, including the egg white. Egg yolks are rich in iron (for blood) and lecithin (for the brain). You can feed your baby meat when he is 8 months old. Mash the pork liver into liver paste, cook it in porridge and feed it to him. It is very good for blood supplement.

The baby is lacking oxygen.

Solution to infant hypoxia: You can make your own oxygen machine at home. In addition, the baby's clothes should not be too tight.

Recommendation: At home, an oxygen concentrator can be used to produce oxygen to meet the baby's oxygen needs. However, you must choose absolutely safe equipment and the oxygen generator must have no side effects. The use of a home oxygen concentrator buys time for the treatment of infant hypoxia and avoids irreversible damage to organ and intellectual development caused by prolonged hypoxia.

The baby has heart problems.

Solution to infant hypoxia: It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, and color ultrasound can produce the results.

Recommendation: It is best to take your child to the hospital to check the heart development, because the baby's purple lips (commonly known as cyanosis) is the main symptom of congenital heart disease. Color Doppler ultrasound can make an accurate judgment. But don't worry too much. If the hole diameter is within 3 mm, there is a 30% chance that the baby will return to normal within 2 years. If the hole is larger, surgery may be necessary.

The above is an introduction to what to do if your child’s lips turn blue. I hope it will be helpful to parents. There are many factors that cause children's lips to turn blue, and these factors are generally the cause. The key is for parents to make an identification based on the child's situation. If it is caused by an illness, it is best to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and take care of the child and strive for recovery as soon as possible.
