Shaken Baby Syndrome Symptoms
8. Bluish Skin
People have different skin colors, but it is healthy for humans to have a reddish glow relative to their natural color. This is because blood is just beneath the surface of the skin, and blood itself is also red. If the patient does appear to be paler than usual, or even bluish in color, then it suggests that all is not right with them.
Pale/blue skin can mean a number of things, and they can be very serious. As such, you should call a doctor as soon as possible if you notice the condition, and maybe consider taking the baby to an emergency room. It might turn out to be something fairly mild, but it is not worth taking the risk over.
