Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted your infant is 10 month age and repeated chest infection with blue lip.
When tissue not getting enough oxygenated blood then blue cyanosis can occur by deoxygenated blood or less blood supply.
Here as he has repeated infection so screening for immunodeficiency has to be look for by detail history and investigation.
Keep his hygein proper ...
Passive smoking avoided....
Here cardiac problem also has to be ruled out by doctor....
If need ECG or echo useful.
Take care.
