What are the reasons for the baby's lower lip to turn purple?

What causes the baby's lower lip to turn purple? Generally speaking, purple lips are caused by cold or a problem with some part of the body. Because the baby is relatively young, the various organs of the body are not fully developed. So when there is something wrong with his body, parents and friends are very worried. However, no matter how worried they are, they have to calm down and find out the reason for the baby's abnormality so that they can take correct countermeasures. There are many reasons why a baby's lower lip turns purple, some of which pose a great threat to the baby's physical health. Let's discuss some of the reasons why a baby's lower lip turns purple.

There are several situations where lips may turn purple:

1. Consider the possibility of congenital heart disease. Children with congenital heart disease eat less and have poor appetite. They are also particularly prone to colds, bronchitis and pneumonia combined with heart failure, and pneumonia is not easy to cure. This is due to long-term severe hypoxia, increased number of capillaries, and dilation of veins and capillaries. Severe cyanosis can be seen on the whole body, which is obvious in severe children at birth. After crying, children with severe cyanosis may suddenly become restless, their complexion becomes more cyanotic, and they have difficulty breathing, and may even have convulsions or become unconscious. This is medically called hypoxic attack, which is a dangerous state that requires emergency treatment.

2. Observe whether the baby's skin continues to be cyanotic after birth.

3. Does the child have repeated episodes of unconsciousness?

4. Frequent colds, repeated infections of the respiratory tract, bronchi, and lungs.

5. Difficulty in feeding or baby refuses to eat, chokes and coughs, and usually has rapid breathing.

6. Developmental delay, weight loss, and excessive sweating.

7. Children complain of fatigue, poor physical strength, bluish discoloration around the mouth, or gasping for breath.

8. Physical examination revealed congenital malformations in other parts of the body.

9. The baby’s clothes are too few and he may catch a cold.

The reasons listed above are the reasons why the baby's lower lip turns purple, so when the baby's lips turn purple, you must check in time whether the baby has caught a cold. If the baby has caught a cold, you must add more clothes for the baby. If it is not because of the problem of too few clothes, you must take your baby to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Only in this way can you find the cause, prescribe the right medicine, and restore the baby's health.
