According to your description, it is recommended that you visit the pediatric cardiology department in the hospital's children's hospital, in conjunction with the respiratory department, for active examination. It is necessary to check chest X-rays or lung CT combined with echocardiography to rule out the possibility of lung infection or congenital heart disease. The main reasons for the bluish color of the baby's lips are: congenital heart defects in newborns or congenital heart disease in newborns. Obstructed airways. Immature respiratory system development. Infection. Due to the pre-existing problem of underdeveloped lungs in newborns, it is very easy for the baby to inhale milk into the lungs while feeding, which can cause severe lung inflammation and lead to difficulty breathing, exacerbating the bluish color of the lips. This easily explains why many infants suddenly turn purple while drinking milk, coughing uncontrollably, or appearing uncomfortable. And this is also the most dangerous time. Mucus in the nasal cavity or some obstruction issues.
