What does it mean if someone is blue around the mouth?

Answer by  craftheart (392)

Blue color on the face or around the mouth could be a lack of oxygen. If a cough is present, there could be a risk of pnuemonia. It is best to visit a doctor for an examination.

It could mean he/she doesn't have enough oxygen in his/her blood. It could also mean he/she is cold. See a doctor when short of breath, or if it isn't cold.
