Do my son’s lips look blue?

DS 14 months old has a history of being admitted into hosp 7 times since he was born with bronchiolitis/chest infections.

The consultant gave us a steroid inhaler to start as soon as he starts getting snotty which we started last week but he’s still full of congestion and a cough.

I took him to GP on Tuesday who confirmed it’s all upper congestion and in his throat but not his chest.

The last day or two his lips have looked tinged blue but when I show my DH he can’t see what I mean?

What do you think?

His hands and feet are also always cold.

What a cutie pie. They don't look blue to me but if you're worried, send them to your gp and ask them to take a look.

They look ok to me. Very cute youngling there.

But no doctor minds taking a look at a. Baby for reassurance OP.

I can see that they have a blue tinge to them.
DS developed asthma at around 18 months, had an inhaler and spacer.
Every time he had a cold we would end up in A&E,
what I remember from that time was that the staff were very clear that if we had any worries we should bring him in to be checked.
I would take him in, just to put your mind at rest.
