thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The blue color over the gum could be because of the erupting tooth or it can be a eruption cyst. consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get it ruled out if it is just a erupting tooth, then no treatment is required. If it is a cyst then the cyst has to be excised under local anesthesia. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
