Hi. Blue lips indicates less oxygen in the blood. It can be due to heart disease or lung disease or sometimes due to breath holding spells. Sometimes it can be due to low temperature. In her case spo2 is normal. But it does not rule out heart disease.

Pls see a nearby Pediatrician for detailed evaluation.
