What Can Cause Consistent Blue Coloration In Lips?
My toddler randomly has blue lips. He is otherwise quite a normal and happy boy with the exception of his nasty bouts of teething. We do not eat a lot of red meat so I am wondering if it is possibly related to an iron deficiency. Any ideas on this?Thanks!

Hello, I have read your question and understand your concern.
Blue lips are a warning sign. But not in isolation. Baby with blue lips are usually fatigued, have growth failure and excessive sweating etc. Mostly cyanosis of lips are due to cardiac or respiratory cause.
A pediatrician should be consulted for assurance.
