2 Year Old, Runny Nose, Breathing Problem, Poor Circulation In Hands And Feet, Blue Lips. Cure For Symptoms?

I work in the child care industry. this year I am looking after a 2yr old girl who continually has a runny nose, very heavy breathing and when we lay her down her lips turn blue. She seems to have poor circulation in her limbs as hands and feet are cold most of the time. These symptoms are all year round so not just in the colder months.
Her blue lips are what mainly concerns us and we have noticed that she only breathes through her mouth. her breathing is rough and graspy
any help or suggestions would be good.
thankyou

Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

The complaints you described are worrisome symptoms and she needs physical examination by the doctor as early as possible.

If the child is having rapid breathing with cold feet and hands, I advise you to take her emergency.

The following things to be ruled out:

1.Asthma with allergic rhinitis

2.Congenital cyanotic heart disease with cyanotic spells

3.Nasal airway obstruction caused by enlarged adenoids and tonsils.

So show her to the doctor as early as possible.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
