When babies are relatively young, many organs in their bodies have not fully developed, so their resistance is relatively poor. If they are not taken care of properly, various symptoms will often occur. For example, some babies may suddenly turn purple, and parents may not know the reason. So, what's going on with the baby's face turning purple?
Firstly, there are many reasons that can cause a baby's complexion to turn purple, such as congenital heart disease, poor breathing, and so on. It is not common for babies to have a purple complexion, and once it occurs, the situation may be quite serious. Therefore, parents should promptly seek medical examination. To avoid further delays, it may affect the baby's health and even threaten their life.
Secondly, the reason for the baby's purple complexion may be respiratory obstruction, as the baby cannot breathe normally, which can cause the complexion to turn purple. Irregular eating habits can also lead to respiratory blockages, with the most common being foreign objects stuck in the throat. If the baby's face turns purple after eating, it is important to help them remove the stuck food.
Furthermore, if the baby has iron deficiency anemia or thalassemia, it may also cause the face to turn purple. Another situation is food poisoning, of course, if the baby only eats breast milk, the probability of this happening will be relatively low. But regardless of the situation, the baby's face turning purple cannot be ignored.
