Coughing blood purple lips
Common Questions and Answers about Coughing blood purple lips
coughing
Last night after feeding my son (8 1/2 months old) his dinner his lips turned purple. I did feed him pear/blueberry baby food along with apple/oats baby food. But he has had this quite often and this is the first time this happened. After cleaning his mouth with a babywipe his lips were still purple. The pink finally came back after about 45minutes to an hour. Then at lunch today I fed him prunes (which are brown) and pear/oat/vanilla and again his lips turned blue.
Does anything else turn purple also? Purple lips may mean low oxygen tension in the blood. It may be just an incidental finding, but it may also represent lung or heart disease. Checking oxygen saturation by simple monitoring and an echocardiogram may be useful. Sometimes young individuals may have no symptoms but they should still be checked out further. At the same time, I don't think you should worry about anything serious because she does feel well otherwise.
My 16 month old son has had cold purple hands, feet and lips off and on for the past few days. He does have a cold, and has been raspy/wheezy at times, and coughing only a bit. His classroom at daycare is somewhat cool, but usually kept at around 70 degrees. (I work at the Childcare center, so I know the regulation of the heat around the building throughout the day.) None of the other children are experiencing this phenomenon, so therefore I am a bit worried.
If you are experiencing loss of color around the mouth, including "blue or purple lips" you will need to see a doctor immediately. A purpling of this region indicates poor blood flow which can be caused by a myriad of reasons, some of which are dangerous.
Take care.
Blue lips, ears, nose, hands and feet can be the sign of dysfunction of the ventricle of the heart. You should see your doctor right away to see how the bottom part of your heart is working. Getting very few hours of sleep is hard on ones health and can be especially hard on the heart. Shortness of breath is also a sign of heart problems. See your doctor as soon as possible. This could be very serious.
Lips may turn purple as a sign of low oxygen in the blood. This typically occurs in kids with asthma or other lung conditions, but may also happen in patients with certain cardiac conditions known as cardiac shunts. Typically, however, the presentation is not as atypical as yours because the lips, both upper and lower, turn purple simultaneously. This usually gets worse with exertion. The fact that only part of your lip turns purple makes it very unlikely for it to be cardiac related.
I have noticed within the past 3-4 days that when I am on the Ellipitcal Trainer, my toes, finger tips and lips go numb and my lips turn purple. I have read about Reynauds and did not know if this is what I had or not. The symptoms seem to go away when I take a hot shower, but my lips stay slightly numb throughout the rest of the day. What do you think?
They're not going to do anything unless coughing is so bad that oxygen is low and you can tell by the color of skin also look at the nails.
Do you have heart problems? If so, watch out for blue lips, nose, ears, limps. This would be very serious and you will need to be seen by a doctor right away. It could be a lack of oxygen.
Hello,
There is a slight bluish purple hue to the vagina normally but if the lips are purple and there is any rash then lichen planus should be ruled out. If the purple discoloration is accompanied by any swelling or pain then chances of hematoma should be ruled out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
My son is 14 months old and in march was very sick that started with ear infection and then went to a virus that was not the flu but when he had that his liver levels were a tad bit low and his lips hands and feet would turn purple but his oxygen level would be fine. He got over that virus after a couple weeks and now he has similar symptoms. His hands were purple last night. He went to dr today and his liver levels are normal but now he's anemic could anemia cause discoloration of hands?
Hi, what are the reasons for a purplish discoloration in lips, fingernails, toenails, ears, tongue, face after crying and every other place where it was reddish before?
I KNOW I have something wrong with me because I cannot fake blue lips and woozy feeling. I physically see my lips at blue.. almost purple tone all the time. I dont know who to turn to. Back in 2008 when I last wrote.. I would feel dizzy only if I turned really quick or looked up or down. Now it's worse. I was talking to my dad in the kitchen and felt like I was going to pass out.. I fell down... but didnt pass out. I"m extremely upset because I just feel I keep being pushed aside ..
I do not know if they bled, but I did not taste blood, or see any blood when I looked at my lips in the mirror. They were very sore, swollen and purple afterwards. He also fingered me quite roughly, and when I went to clean up afterwards I noticed some blood. I had just finished my period, so it was unclear to me whether this was from the fingering or risidual menstruation.
Lack of oxygen (that could be the result of a PFO as blood from the rightside (some blood doesn't go to the lungs but is shunted to the leftside and pumped into circulation), poor circulation, cold temperatures and cyanosis
Cyanosis is a medical condition that causes discoloration and bluing of the skin and membranes. Linked to lack of oxygen, cyanosis may be attributed to underlying lung or breathing problems.
My lips keep going purple and I'm very breathless all day and night even with doing nothing is this normal
