Question
My child is around 5 years old and has been complaining of leg pain recently for no apparent reason. What could be the cause of blue edges around a newborn’s mouth?
Answer
Your child’s condition could be due to subcutaneous hemorrhage, which can manifest as pinpoint-sized spots known as petechiae; it can also appear as a large patch without compression symptoms, which may not require treatment. In severe cases of hematoma, aspiration or incision may be considered. The appearance of pediatric bone tumors can severely affect a patient’s health. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care, ensuring adequate rest and enhancing nutrition to avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
