Noticed A Blue Ting On The Feet,hands,lips & Tongue

Hi My son Zach is 13 months old. I have noticed in the last couple of months that Zach has a blue tinge to his skin mainly the feet, but lately the blue tinge can be found hands, lips and tounge. He seems to have a mild to intense cough that comes and goes sometimes it nearly make him sick. Should I be worried?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi. It is a bit worrying thing to have blue tinge on feet, hands, lips and tongue. He also has cough. All these put together, it may because of heart disease. So I suggest you to immediately consult a doctor, preferably a Pediatrician or a Cardiologist.
