What Causes Continuous Quivering Of The Bottom Lip?
Hello there,
My 10 month old son's bottom lips quivers almost all the time. I am not noticing any sort of pattern like when he is cold, when he gets upset, etc.
I spoke to my son's doctor who only suggested that I keep a log off of when it happens. Honestly, it is continous so not sure how that is helpful.
What are your thoughts about what this may be?

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
As per your complain lip quiver in infants is commonly seen as they have an immature nervous system and it is resolved as the child grows and reaches further milestones..
But in case if the quivering does not resolve or it becomes more severe you should consult a Paediatrician and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI Scan and blood tests to check for any nerve related problem or nutritional deficiencies and syndromes can be eliminated and appropriate cause can be ruled out..
As of now it does not seems t be anything related to any pathology so you should wait for atleast a month and watch..
Hope this helps..
