Question

My child is over two years old and sometimes their lips turn blue. What could be the cause?

Answer

Hello, when a child’s lips turn blue, it is usually attributed to factors such as anemia, hypoxia, or cold exposure. If a heart murmur is not detected during auscultation, there may be a mild heart condition present. If the cyanosis persists, the best course of action is to perform an echocardiogram on the child to determine if there are any heart disease issues. Wishing your child good health.
