A member asked:

2 1/2 year old son has been ill with stomach bug--the runs & vomiting. his lips have appeared bluish for moments, during this time. is this a concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe/not: I look at the inside of the eyelids to decide if a kids brain is getting enough oxygen & by default all other major organs. If you put your finger tip below the eye & tug down the lower lid is exposed & pink means good. A bluish tinge sometimes just means slowed blood flow through some areas. The lips are a common example.
