A blue wreath on the bridge of the nose of a Komarovsky baby. In sick children

Blue bridge of the nose in a baby

Did you know that more than half of newborns and infants in their first year of life have marks on their skin that prove that they were carried by a stork and kissed by an angel?
This beautiful fairy tale is supported by various spots on the face and neck of newborn children. Internet forums dedicated to the problems of motherhood and childhood are full of questions about where babies get these spots, in particular the blue spot on the bridge of the nose. Mothers vying with each other to say that from the very birth their children have such a spot that turns the bridge of their nose blue. This is a spot caused by stress - sneezing, crying, etc.

Children, as you know, have extremely delicate and thin skin. And therefore it is not surprising that capillaries, wreaths, and vessels can be seen through it. Neurologists, to whom mothers show their babies, believe that, most likely, there is nothing terrible in this phenomenon if we are not talking about any kind of birth or postpartum trauma.

The assumption that the blue bridge of the nose is simply a consequence of the vein showing through gives mothers the right not to worry about this - with age, the child’s skin thickens and “covers” the blue.

Doctors have another version. Sometimes they make a diagnosis: the consequences of hypoxic ischemic damage to the central nervous system. In this case, treatment is prescribed and an ultrasound examination of the heart is performed.

Dear mothers, of course, a visible wreath in the area of the bridge of the nose is the simplest and most effective

In the Children's Health section, to the question why is a wreath visible on the bridge of a child's nose? (now 4 years old, and she is almost from birth) the best answer given by the author Olmira is In the Caucasus they say that the next one born will be a boy))) I only succeeded the second time)))

The skin is thin, the blood vessels are close. I've been suffering from this all my life

it may be congenital. it will either go away with time or remain

Our child also has a wreath on the bridge of his nose since birth. The doctor said that it’s nothing to worry about, it’s just a feature.

Has anyone else had the same thing and what is the reason for it? Is this a cause for concern and if so, which doctor should I contact?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

So, and you say why look, you can also say why go to the dentist, why get vaccinated, etc. etc. If it is discovered, then it is better to solve the problem early so as not to heal later (by the way, it is recommended to deal with headache problems for up to a year).

DOCTOR ANSWERS: Natalya Aleksandrovna Bichurina / 07/17:37

“This may be an individual characteristic of your child and a manifestation of intracranial hypertension, so you need to show the child to a neurologist to rule out hypertension (examination * NSG and ECHO-EG).”

All that remains is to find out what intracranial hypertension is and undergo an NSG for testing.

I wrote the doctor’s answer for those who are concerned.

girls. are there any similarities? (correction - who is your daughter more like?)

Where do you buy cosmetics and do you buy them?

Internet forums dedicated to the problems of motherhood and childhood are full of questions about where babies get these spots, in particular the blue spot on the bridge of the nose.

Individual propensity

People with thin skin, through which even small blood vessels are clearly visible, are prone to the formation of dark circles under the eyes, even if everything is in order with their health, their regime is established and their nutrition is extremely correct.

All that remains is to blame nature and either come to terms with the current state of affairs, or turn to cosmetologists for help. At home, foundations and concealers will come to the rescue, in salons - whitening procedures and masks.

People who have a natural predisposition to dark circles around the eyes should protect their face from sunlight, as it harms thin skin, and be careful about products (including cosmetics) that can cause allergies.

Possible causes of redness and peeling of the skin when red spots appear on a child’s face

Redness and skin rash, as a rule, occur against the background of allergization of the body or infectious diseases.

Atopic dermatitis, eczema, measles - the list of diseases and conditions that cause red spots on a child’s face includes several dozen names.

The doctor prescribes treatment only after determining the underlying cause. In various situations, antihistamines, disinfectant solutions and soothing ointments are used.

The variety of reasons for the appearance of red spots on the face

A rash in a newborn or an infant in the first days of life is caused by such a non-hazardous condition as toxic erythema. Flat red spots or pimples disappear without a trace within one or two weeks.

Typical causes of rashes in children of different ages are infections (bacterial, fungal and viral). External manifestations of inflammation are redness, swelling or swelling, local fever, pain.

Burning and itching of the skin is felt by children infected with fungus, intestinal parasites, scabies mites, and also after insect bites.

Infectious agents penetrate the damaged epidermis. Red spots and blisters appear in a child with chickenpox. The size and location of the rash depend on the type of infectious agent. For example, chickenpox spots on the head, trunk and limbs evolve over 5 days: from slight redness to a vesicle and crusts.

Redness of the eyes occurs with allergic conjunctivitis. A red spot may appear on the eyelid due to a reaction to the use of eye or nasal drops, even with antihistamine components in the composition. Allergy or hypersensitivity manifests itself both in relation to medications and when consuming certain foods,

Dangerous symptoms

With a strong blow, a bruise in a baby is an external manifestation of serious internal injuries. Dangerous places for bruising are the back of the head and temples, as well as the stomach. For newborns, trauma of any location can lead to health problems, especially if they fall from a height.

Warning signs:

For bruises and bumps on the head, forehead (possibility of concussion):

nausea, vomiting
headache
pale skin
breathing problems
squint and so on

With a hematoma on the bridge of the nose (risk of nasal fracture):

darkening of the skin under the eyes
changing the shape of the nose

In case of abdominal injury (risk of damage to internal organs):

strong pain
pale skin
dry mouth and thirst
lowering blood pressure

If the limbs are damaged (risk of fracture), pain when moving.

Regardless of the location of the injury (risk of infection):

increase in body temperature some time after the injury
severe swelling and hyperthermia of the skin in the affected area

In these situations, you should not use ointment or other remedies for bruises; it is important to get the baby to the hospital as soon as possible.

Vascular spots in newborns often worry parents, especially if they are located on the face or open areas of the body, are large or brightly colored. If such spots are observed in a newborn girl, then the anxiety becomes even stronger. Our grandmothers called such spots “stork bites”, “angel kisses”; pediatricians often briefly call them “birthmarks”, without wanting to go into details. So is it worth worrying about them? Is it possible to remove them? Let's figure it out.

In many newborns, reddish tufts of blood vessels can be seen protruding through the skin. They are especially common on the eyelids, in the middle of the forehead and on the back of the neck. Such spots are not dangerous; they will fade significantly or go away over time as the baby’s skin becomes thicker. It also happens that the spot disappears, but becomes visible if the baby tenses or cries.

But sometimes spots on a baby's skin are caused by abnormalities affecting the veins, arteries and capillaries. Doctors call them vascular nevi of the skin. They are divided into hemangiomas and angiodysplasias.

Hemangiomas are benign tumors that are often found in infants and usually appear in the first hours, days or weeks of a baby's life. They occur more often in girls than in boys. They can be located both on the surface of the skin and in its depths. They appear as purple, blue or red spots, often raised above the surface of the skin.

Hemangioma goes through three stages in its development: active growth, cessation of growth and reverse development. It often goes away on its own and is not dangerous. If the tumor is growing too actively, is at risk of injury, is located on the inside of the nose or eyelid, or on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, then it is better to remove it.

Angiodysplasia (they are also called flame

The bridge of the nose can acquire a blue color in several cases. And they are all connected with the circulatory system. Most often, children simply find a vein in this area, which is clearly visible through the baby’s thin and delicate skin. Over time, it disappears or becomes less noticeable. This is perhaps the most favorable explanation that many parents hear. But in such a situation it is necessary to exclude more serious cases:

Bleeding (bruise or hematoma).
Vascular tumor (hemangioma).
Increased intracranial pressure (cerebrospinal fluid hypertension).

The vein on the bridge of the nose can rupture due to birth trauma, when the baby passed through the narrow passages of the mother or auxiliary obstetric methods (for example, forceps) were used. But in this case, the blue discoloration will most likely spread to neighboring areas, and the cephalohematoma will become noticeable. This is a rather dangerous situation, because even the bones of the skull can be damaged.

When dilated vessels appear on the bridge of the nose or in the frontal area, the doctor sometimes diagnoses intracranial hypertension. It can develop if the fetus experienced hypoxia or intrauterine infection during pregnancy, the mother suffered from gestosis, took unwanted medications, or for other reasons. But there will be other reasons for such an assumption, for example, increased muscle tone, pulsation of the fontanelles, vomiting, loud screaming, convulsions.

Any condition in which the bridge of a baby’s nose may turn blue requires differential diagnosis, which only a doctor can carry out.

In children in the first weeks of life, blue discoloration is sometimes observed during crying, when the level of oxygen in the blood drops to 92%. They are of pulmonary origin and are considered normal. After a few weeks, in healthy infants it disappears due to the improvement of all body systems.

It is worth sounding the alarm if the cyanosis persists. Do not hesitate and show your baby to specialists: it is better to be mistaken in your doubts than to later face a serious illness.

In capricious and hyperactive children, the cause of such symptoms is the constant release of emotions, which leads to changes in the blood.
Light and thin skin also causes the blue nasolabial triangle effect. The reason is the proximity of blood vessels to the surface of the skin. They shine through it, and a bluish tint appears. Don't panic in this case: the child is completely healthy. The blueness will go away over time.
Hypothermia can also cause cyanosis.

Use the simplest tips - check the room temperature, put on warmer clothes for your child. Often, when bathing, hardening the baby, mothers pour too cool water into the bath. It also happens that the air temperature in the bathroom is very different from the temperature in the child’s room. Such changes also contribute to temporary blueness.

“My son is one and a half months old. During bathing, the child's nasolabial triangle sometimes turned blue. One day it was very noticeable. After they pulled him out of the water, after some time the blueness went away. The next day I rushed him to the pediatrician. After a thorough examination, the doctor suggested that the bathing water should be a little warmer for our child.

Before the appearance of blueness in the nasolabial triangle, an infant may suddenly, for no apparent reason, become nervous. The chin or arms and legs may tremble. What to do? It is better not to delay calling a doctor at home. These are the first signs of a possible malfunction not only in the functioning of the baby’s heart (congenital heart disease and acute heart failure), but also in the nervous system.
Cyanosis can serve as a litmus test for respiratory diseases and their severe course (pneumonia and lung pathologies). Characteristic symptoms are intermittent breathing, paroxysmal shortness of breath, wheezing, pale skin. They may appear if the cold persists or the newborn has a viral infection. In these cases, the more noticeable the blueness, the stronger the symptoms.

The more sick the baby is, the more blue the nasolabial triangle becomes.

A foreign body entering the respiratory tract also turns the nasolabial triangle blue.

Advice: do not delay urgently calling an ambulance if your newborn is unable to take a breath, has sudden shortness of breath, coughing and appears blue. In the meantime, until the ambulance arrives, urgently place the baby on your knee upside down. Gently pat your back. As the chest compresses, the foreign body can be pushed out and breathing can return to normal.

There are times when the baby is calm, but at the same time there is. This is also a reason to see a doctor.

The famous children's doctor Komarovsky, reassuring mothers, explains the blueness of the nasolabial triangle either as a distinctive feature of the newborn's blood vessels, or as a signal of heart problems. But heart problems are accompanied by a number of other signs, not just the cyanosis of the triangle. Therefore, he advises parents to do an ultrasound of the heart to reassure themselves.

Blue nasolabial triangle in infants: causes, treatment, prevention

One of the external signs that can cause concern about the health of a newborn baby is blueness above his upper lip. This phenomenon is also called cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle. It can be a signal that there are alarming pathologies in the body, or it can manifest itself in children without any diseases.

Why does the nasolabial triangle turn blue in a baby?

In this article we will talk about the four most common causes of cyanosis:

Respiratory disease

Blue discoloration of the nasolabial triangle usually indicates a lack of oxygen in the blood. This can happen if something is blocking air from entering the lungs.

For example, respiratory diseases of viral origin or swelling due to allergies. Another reason is impaired lung function.

This may be acute bronchiolitis, during which the smallest bronchi become inflamed, which greatly complicates their passage for air.

Another serious cause of blue areas around the mouth and nose is pneumonia. Sometimes it appears on its own, but more often it occurs against the background of an existing disease. With pneumonia, the functional area of the lungs, which makes breathing possible, decreases.

An infant needs oxygen even more than an adult: his body is actively growing, every cell needs to be provided with this substance.

With lung disease, the blue area around the nose and lips has a slightly purple tint, and is accompanied by other typical symptoms: wet cough, sticky sweat, high fever, shortness of breath.

The child begins to cry after taking a deep breath, as this action gives off pain in the chest. Cyanosis may occur throughout the day.

Treatment can only be prescribed by a specialist; hospitalization will probably be required.

The same type of causes can include the entry of foreign elements into the respiratory tract. Therefore, if there were no symptoms before the onset of cyanosis, and difficulty breathing suddenly appeared along with it, it is necessary to urgently examine the child and call a doctor.

Cyanosis due to heart pathologies

The heart of a newborn differs from the heart of an adult: it is larger relative to body weight, due to which it can successfully enrich actively growing organs and tissues with oxygen.

With heart disease, a situation may arise when, due to a defect in the septum between the ventricles or other reasons, blood from the right ventricle does not enter the pulmonary trunk, but into the aorta.

Thus, the blood, which has already given oxygen to the tissues, again rushes to the brain and other organs, but can no longer supply them with the necessary substance. Due to oxygen starvation and an excess of venous blood, the baby's nasolabial triangle turns blue.

Unfortunately, during pregnancy, even the most attentive doctor can miss a heart defect. This happens because such pathology is a rare phenomenon, and doctors do not always have the necessary experience and equipment. Therefore, sometimes it is discovered after birth.

But blueness in the area around the lip and nose of a baby is not the only symptom of heart disease. The child’s fingers become thicker, nails and heels acquire a bluish tint.

The child experiences attacks of shortness of breath, due to which he may become frightened and even lose consciousness.

If the baby has similar symptoms, his parents should immediately seek help. First of all, consult a pediatrician, then a pediatric cardiologist. A specialist in pediatric cardiology is needed, since the functioning of the heart of infants is very different from the functioning of the organs of adults. You will need to do an ECG and ultrasound of the heart.

Mothers who have suffered acute viral diseases in the early stages of pregnancy (the first two months) need to be especially attentive to the manifestations of this pathology, because it is at this time that the child’s heart is formed. Cyanosis, indicating a heart defect, can occur in babies whose close relatives have the same diagnosis.

Treatment usually requires surgery, but in some cases the child’s body copes with the heart defect on its own. In any case, the child needs to visit places where there is clean and fresh air more often: parks, gardens, the coast.

Neurological disorders

Damage to the child’s nervous system is possible at all stages of pregnancy and childbirth. These could be diseases and poisonings that the mother suffered during pregnancy, asphyxia due to the umbilical cord tightly covering the neck, birth trauma or congenital disorders. In this case, cyanosis will be an almost constant phenomenon.

A blue nasolabial triangle in a child is not the only symptom of neuralgia, but depending on the severity of the lesion, other signs may vary. Parents can see that the child is lethargic, moaning, while the muscles of the arms and legs are tense.

The doctor may detect weak or absent reflexes. For example, a weak sucking reflex or reaction to support: if, while supporting a newborn, you put him on a support, he will rest his legs against it. In children with neurological lesions this reflex is absent.

In order to determine the extent of the lesion and its location, the therapist will prescribe an examination by a neurologist and an echoencephalogram.

Cyanosis in a healthy baby

If the child is calm, the temperature is normal, he breathes smoothly and without strain, and there is a slight blueness above the lips - perhaps it’s all about the thin skin above the upper lip. Wreaths can be visible through it, which give the nasolabial triangle a blue appearance.

Cyanosis can occur in a healthy child after prolonged crying or screaming. This has a simple explanation - the child’s body especially needs oxygen, and when screaming, oxygen is consumed faster, it is difficult to get a fresh portion, since the breaths are short and shallow.

A blue nasolabial triangle in a newborn in the first days of life is considered an acceptable norm. Cyanosis appears because the child’s body has not yet fully adapted to life in the outside world.

When the fetus was inside the womb, it depended exclusively on the supply of maternal blood, which passed through the systemic circulation - the small circle was not involved.

It takes a few more days for normal blood supply to all tissues and organs to be established.

Treatment of blue nasolabial triangle in infants

Since cyanosis is not an independent disease, there is no specific treatment. First of all, you need to fight the main disease that caused this phenomenon.

To alleviate the child's condition, the doctor may prescribe oxygen therapy. This procedure - inhaling oxygen through a mask - allows you to saturate all organs with the necessary oxygen, relieve a cyanotic attack and give strength. This therapy may use an oxygen tent, tank, tube, or even a ventilator.

Drug treatment is aimed at helping the body deliver oxygen to every cell. These can be drugs that relieve bronchospasm, antihypoxants, which at the cellular level promote the transfer of oxygen to tissues.

In addition, the doctor may prescribe medications to stimulate the lungs or strengthen the heart - again, depending on the cause of the oxygen deficiency.

If necessary, medications that protect brain cells—neuroprotectors—will be prescribed.

Any drug treatment for an infant cannot be done independently; consultation with a specialist is required.

Prevention

In a certain sense, prevention of cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle of a baby begins when he is still in the womb. The expectant mother needs to protect herself from infections, give up bad habits and spend more time in a calm environment, in the fresh air.

After the birth of a child, prevention of cyanosis will consist in the correct and timely intervention of doctors and compliance with the child’s regimen.

Unfortunately, not all diseases are treated as quickly as we would like. In this case, it is better for the child to live where the air is clean and rich in oxygen - away from large cities.

You need to walk a lot with your baby - preferably not on sidewalks or along roads, but in parks or squares.

Cyanosis can be prevented by avoiding hypothermia and viral diseases. Reviews and studies show that children who suffer from neurological damage benefit from BFM massage. This method does not include drugs, but is purely scientific and has nothing to do with alternative medicine.

A blue nasolabial triangle in a child is an ambiguous symptom. It can be a sign of serious pathologies and at the same time - an absolutely innocent phenomenon. Therefore, before doing anything, you need to find out the reasons and consult a doctor.

How can this be explained?

Dear mothers, of course, a visible wreath in the bridge of the nose is the simplest and most reassuring explanation. However, you need to see a pediatric neurologist in any case. After all, there are other unpleasant things, for example, hemangioma - a tumor of blood vessels. She needs to be excluded. In addition, any blue spot in the area of the bridge of the nose or nasolabial triangle should be carefully examined to exclude possible pathology in the child’s cardiovascular system.

The assumption that the blue bridge of the nose is simply a consequence gives mothers the right not to worry about this - with age, the child’s skin thickens and “covers” the blue.

Allergy to the bridge of the nose in a child

I suffered from sun allergies for many years. True, in the décolleté area first, and then the arms and neck. In Spain I bought a cream at the Isdin pharmacy for sun allergies. UV protection 100. Every 2 hours, relieves discomfort and after a week the breakouts stopped. I'll attach a photo, maybe you can order it.

My son (7 years old) developed small pimples on his face in the spring (on the top of his cheeks and on the bridge of his nose). The pediatrician said it was an allergy to the sun. I prescribed Fleming's ointment, Bifiform, and sunscreen with photoprotection when going outside. It's all gone on my face. Not long ago the same pimples appeared on my hands. Treatment: Fleming ointment, only a different cream on the hands. The rash is almost gone too. I don’t let my child go outside without sunscreen. From 11am to 4pm

Necessary actions

Of course, everyone would like the cause of the problem under consideration to be hidden in the anatomical and physiological characteristics of childhood. A wreath showing through delicate skin is the best explanation. But unfortunately, it is not the only one. And if suddenly the bridge of a child’s nose turns blue, dangerous conditions should first be ruled out.

Parents should not be too careless, but giving in to excessive anxiety is not the best option. Without a doctor's examination, it is unlikely that anything will become clearer. Therefore, to resolve all issues, it is necessary to consult a pediatrician. If the specialist does not reveal anything serious, then you can confidently and without fear continue standard care for the child, considering the blueness on the bridge of the nose to be a passing phenomenon.

But a completely different situation arises when, during the inspection, unpleasant facts are revealed that require further confirmation. The pathology identified by the doctor will require different approaches to treatment. And parents, for whom the child’s health comes first, will need to follow all the specialist’s recommendations.

If you observe cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle in your child, first of all you should pay attention to the conditions under which this happens and how quickly it goes away. If a symptom is visible, for example, during bathing, but then quickly passes, then there is nothing to worry about. But if this phenomenon is observed constantly, measures must be taken.

Consult your doctor. At the clinic, you may be prescribed an ECG (electrocardiogram), ECHO (ultrasound examination of the heart), or a chest x-ray. You may be referred to a neurologist for a more extensive examination.
Lifestyle. Maintain optimal temperature and humidity in the house, walk with your baby more often, try to make him cry less often (be more attentive to his comfort). All this must be done even when the child is completely healthy.
Massage. After consulting with a specialist, perform a daily massage - it will help stimulate the nervous system and improve the functioning of the respiratory center.

If a foreign body gets into the child’s respiratory tract, you need to act without delay: place the baby on your knee with his stomach and hit his back several times. The blows must be strong enough, otherwise the foreign body will not move. If this does not help, call an ambulance immediately.

A blue nasolabial triangle in a baby is a symptom that always deserves the attention of parents. Analyze your child's condition and be sure to share your concerns with your doctor. Timely measures taken minimize the consequences of any disease.

Caring mothers constantly monitor the condition of their child. Even minor redness of the skin causes them great concern. And if the nasolabial triangle becomes blue, the woman may be overcome by fear for her child.

We need to calmly find out the reason. Blueness of the nasolabial triangle is observed in both healthy and sick children, especially in the first months of life.

Blue discoloration of the nasolabial triangle is normal for healthy children!

Doctors call this blueness in one word - cyanosis. The root cause is a drop in oxygen levels in the blood. The norm for its concentration is considered to be 92-95%. If the indicator drops below, then this is already a pathology.

Even a slight blue discoloration of the nasolabial triangle should not be ignored.

Why does a child's nose turn blue?

Blue discoloration of the nasolabial triangle or cyanosis is an unpleasant symptom indicating improper functioning of the baby’s cardiovascular system. Normally, a child's nasolabial triangle should have the same color as the rest of the skin on the body. What causes this symptom and should parents sound the alarm when blueness is detected?

Immediately after birth, a slight blue discoloration may appear on the baby's nasolabial triangle. This type of cyanosis is called blueness of pulmonary origin.

This phenomenon occurs when a child screams or cries.

At this point, the oxygen level in the blood decreases and the skin turns blue. This type of cyanosis should completely disappear after the baby grows up, but if the cyanosis remains, then it should be shown to a doctor. You should not put off visiting a doctor, as cyanosis may indicate dangerous pathological conditions.

Causes

The blue color of the triangle may appear because the skin in this area is too thin. All the plexuses of veins are easily visible through it, so the fold appears blue. In this case, parents should not worry, since the symptom will disappear after the baby grows up and strengthens the skin.

Blueness of the nasolabial triangle at moments when the child is absolutely calm and does not cry should arouse suspicion among parents.

The most common cause of blue discoloration is congenital heart disease, acute heart failure, or pulmonary artery malformation. These pathological conditions can only be diagnosed by specialists, so the child should be immediately shown to a cardiologist.

Another cause of cyanosis can be any disease of the respiratory tract. When a child is diagnosed with pulmonary pneumonia or any other pathological condition of this organ, blanching of all skin covers is observed.

The baby's breathing worsens - it becomes heavy and intermittent.

If the attacks occur in an acute form, then blue discoloration may be noticeable on the nasolabial triangle. It may turn blue due to common respiratory problems.

In the first months of life, a child is vulnerable to any external factors, so even a runny nose can cause blueness. When the disease is completely cured, parents will be able to observe a change in the color of the nasolabial triangle from bluish to normal.

If a baby accidentally swallows a small part from a toy, the triangle may also turn blue. In this case, you should not hesitate, as the baby can easily suffocate. Parents need to call an ambulance, and doctors will remove the stuck part.

Diagnostics

To diagnose all conditions that cause cyanosis, an ultrasound of the child’s heart, a chest x-ray and a cardiogram are used. If the child does not have a heart defect, and the cyanosis does not go away, then he is sent for examination to a neurologist.

This specialist can diagnose insufficient or abnormal development of the respiratory system. As a treatment, parents are recommended to spend more time with the child in the fresh air, and also send the baby to therapeutic massage sessions. With the right approach, all symptoms disappear by the first year of life.

Treatment

Treatment of cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle largely depends on the reason for which it developed in the child. If a heart test reveals a patent foramen ovale but the valve remains, doctors will advise the parents on proper care for the child.

You need to take him for a lot of walks in the fresh air so that all the baby’s internal organs receive enough oxygen. Also, he should eat properly and be minimally stressed, since any nervous breakdown can lead to a heart attack.

When diagnosing the complete absence of a heart valve, it is difficult to do without surgical intervention. The child must be scheduled for a consultation with a surgeon, who will advise the parents on the type of intervention.

However, such serious manipulations can only be carried out on healthy and strong babies.

For weakened children, the date of surgery is postponed.

If there are no heart defects, the child is prescribed therapeutic massage, swimming and walks in the fresh air. They must improve the functioning of the respiratory system, which will subsequently lead to the complete disappearance of cyanosis.

Conclusion

Blue discoloration of the nasolabial triangle can occur during a disease of the cardiovascular or respiratory system, during infection with acute respiratory diseases, or due to lack of oxygen.

To protect your baby from the development of this unpleasant symptom, you need to follow the correct daily routine and provide him with a balanced diet.

Cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle can be prevented during pregnancy if the mother leads a healthy lifestyle.

We've been going for three days already)))) massage, exercise therapy, physiotherapy and pearl bath))))) beauty! My son really likes it. and medication and treatment were prescribed. Neuralgia is still not good, we must fight it. otherwise the elder is restless, restless, inattentive, has a bad memory, is touchy and gets worse in the off-season. Now let's go to school, it will be hard for us (((((everyone thought it would go away on its own, I got it late.

Once, one granny, seeing a wreath on the bridge of her daughter’s nose, said: Oh, your next child will be a boy!)))

The medical staff is very good, they are friendly.

I immediately drive the older one too. he is delighted too.

Girls, tell me, my son has a bright blue wreath on the bridge of his nose, we went to a neurologist, got checked for intracranial pressure, he said everything was fine, this feature, the skin is thin, will disappear by the age of one year. And then the other day I had this correspondence with my former teacher, in contact.

“U: I looked at photos of your little one, he looks like your husband. But your son has a strong evil eye, it needs to be removed!

Me: How did you determine this? I'm talking about the evil eye.

U: He has a blue line on his nose, it’s long (between the eyes). You need to read the prayer. And do the ritual. If you don’t know, I’ll teach you what to do.”

I said if anything happens, I’ll write to her.

I don’t believe in this, but now something just shook me, we have some people capable of this, who are overly interested in our son, and clearly don’t want the best for him and for us, as my husband believes. But thank God they never did Tim seen in life.

I don’t know what to think, the neurologist seemed to calm me down, although there is still a bit of mistrust, one of these days we’ll go to another clinic, and now the teacher has given me too much to think about.

Venka was barely visible from birth, but now she stands out very much, especially when she starts to get nervous and cry. Well, I don’t know if this is the norm, some kind of problem, or even an “evil eye”?!

and I have the same one myself, only horizontally, and nothing)))) I’ve lived all my life, over time it became very invisible, and the little one was also blue) so don’t worry. We believe in God, and not in all this bullshit!

We also have a blue wreath on the bridge of our nose - only transverse... We saw a neurologist, and he said everything is fine too... Let's hope that everything will go away by the year...)

Let's see what happens next year)

The little guy is so cute! I think it's just a vein, nothing to worry about. Don’t worry about the evil eye at all.

My son’s wreath is also visible on the side, and so is our daughter-in-law’s. Right now it doesn’t seem to be noticeable anymore!

I don’t even know what to recommend

We had the same thing, but every day less and less) don’t worry))))

Mine had it too, only on the forehead, now it’s not there at all, don’t worry!

Alexandra, how are things going with your boy now, has the wreath disappeared? Have you removed the evil eye? It’s just that my son has the same exact problem as yours... please answer in a private message, thanks in advance.

My son is now 12 years old. When he was born, there was also a blue wreath on the bridge of his nose. The neurologist told me that I shouldn’t torment my son too much with his studies at school, there won’t be enough stars in the sky, he’ll get tired if I put too much pressure on him. That’s right, I sent him to the most ordinary school without any deviations, he studies averagely, at 3-4. This may be normal for a boy, but I would like better results.

Yes, we also have a wreath on the bridge of our nose)) don’t listen to all the nonsense about evil eyes. Everything is fine with you!

Please tell me if this happened to you or if you did something. My daughter also has blue stripes on the bridge of her nose near her eyes.

By the age of one it became barely noticeable and only appeared when crying, and by the age of two it disappeared altogether)
