What Is The Remedy For The Discoloration Of The Lips Due To The Suction With The Bottle?
I have a 4 and 5 year old and they both have been drinkin Gatorade/powerade put of the bottle. They don t really understand how to put the bottle under thee top lip like an adult, so they get their upper lip suctioned to the inside of the bottle and I ve noticed a discoloration above the lip where the bottle actually would be with little red dots along with the weird discoloration. I believe it s most likely blood vessels damaged? But I m worried it won t go away. It looks so bad and I just want to know if I m on the right track, and if so is there a way to get rid of it fast? Thanku

Hello. I just read through your question.
I agree that the blood vessels do become minimally damaged. However they do repair themselves fully. This will resolve when they stop drinking from the bottles this way. Meantime it is harmless, even though it may not look good.
