Should i be worried that my 6 year old has dark blue gums and moves his head in jerky movements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Investigate further.: Are they really blue? Or are they lacking the normal coral pink coloration. If so, it may be a sign of lack of oxygen. That could be related to a whole spectrum of systemic problems, and i suppose neurologic ones as well. Check with an md.
