Hi,
My daughter is 3 y/o and is generally in good health. Over the past couple of days she has developed a cough. Last night however this cough became concerning...loose nonproductive. She is afebrile. I am going to bring her to the pediatrician today to be examined. the thing that concerns me most is that her lips are discolored. It is not circumoral cyanosis. Her lips are pale with a reddish darkened border on the upper lip. Her lips are not chapped. I am unable to listen to breath sounds because I left my stethoscope at work. She does not seem to be wheezing. What is up with the lip thing? I do not know much about pediatric patients.
