the very center of my 1 year olds lip becomes discolored, like a blue-ish in only one spot after drinking a cold bottle. it returns to its normal color after a few minutes and appears to have good venous return and color thru-out the other areas of the lip at all other times. he doesn t have any cyanosis any where else or appear to have labored breathing. any ideas
Hi... by what you quote I feel that your kid is extremely sensitive to cold because of peripheral vasoconstriction while exposure to cold Chat Doctor. But I can say that this is very unusual. If you observe that in winter, even the tips of the fingers are turning blue then I suggest you consider evaluating him with your pediatrician. This could be a Maynard phenomena. Regards -
