Flushed


Explanation:
I think this is a possibility too.
Both Cyanosis and Flushing are related to circulatory issues.
The face is usually the body part most often related to appearing "flushed".

Also, both cyanosis and flushing can be symptoms of a myriad of issues that would warrant monitoring a newborn.

Thank you, Eytan.
Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Eytan. Yes, congested fits my context. I think I will stir away from edematous because the source text isn't specific enough.
