What Causes Change Of Color In Finger Nails And Toe Nails In A One Year Old?
Today my granddaughter's fingernails and toenails turned blue. She is one years old and was born with a heart murmur. She has been teething for a week and has had a low grade fever on and off. She has had diarrhear for about three days. She had on a long sleeve shirt, pants, shoes and socks. She didnt have on a tshirt because she pooped all over it before her nap. The thermostat was set on 70 degrees. She was at daycare and the teacher noticed her fingers and toes when she woke up. About 30 minutes after she woke up, the color came returned
