Treatment status: The doctor advised to wait and see at home.
Help needed: Will this affect the child's future development? What are some good treatment methods?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is not normal for a child to turn blue when crying or to be unable to make a sound. There are two possible reasons for this: 1. The child has congenital weakness. 2. Poor cardiopulmonary function. Most of the time, it is the first case. I suggest you go to the hospital for a definitive diagnosis. Try to minimize the child's crying, as it can lead to hypoxia and affect the child's brain development.When the baby was born, due to oxygen deprivation, there was asphyxia, and currently, when crying, the face turns blue, the lips turn purple, and there is no sound. It is necessary to have an MRI scan as soon as possible to determine if there is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Additionally, an echocardiogram should be performed to rule out heart disease.
