Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Redness of face and purple lips are commonly seen with cynosis. And cynosis in children is seen with cynotic heart diseases (CHD). She developed cynosis while exertion (playing basketball). So possibility of CHD is more likely. So better to consult pediatric cardiologist and get done 2d echo for the diagnosis of CHD. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your niece. Thanks.
