I would like to know if you could help me
I have got a 7 month old baby, last week
was the second time since she was born
that her forehead was swollen and her eyes
was blinking and it looked like she had a
headache and she was very grumpy. Her
cheaks also gets realy red and you can see
small vains, then her hands and feet also
go blue. I just want to know what that
symptoms can be and if it could be
serious. She has never bumped her head.
So it cant be that.

You definitely need to visit a
pediatrician to examine your baby. Blue
hands and feet could indicate some type of
heart defect that can be confirmed via
auscultation and heart ultrasound.
Forehead swelling should be also checked
by a medical doctor.
