Excessive eye blinking

2024-10-03 18:05:57
My daughter 3 years old and she is blinking a lot. She usually develops this habit as soon as she recovered from cold/ cough using medicine.Previously we use to give her refresh tears and that use to treat her well as we thought it is eye dryness.For few months she will stop doing until she again felts sick. This is the pattern we observe and we could be wrong. Eye specialist doctor have told us to give opthamoist gel and she has told us to give Lotel eye ointment considering a sort of allergy possibility . Previously these both eye gel and ointment have treated my daughter well and for 2 months she was not blinking her eye . Now she again just recovered from cold n cough using medicine and she started to blink her eye again. Please advise what is wrong with my daughter. How to treat this issue.

The most likely cause is allergic conjunctivitis which develops along with cold,the child blinks because it feels better while doing so. The next probable can be if she has any refractive errors,which requires dilated refraction at this age.
Next Steps
Consult online/ offline to rule out other causes.
