If it's only while watching TV and mobile, its most probably related to screen exposure and it's brightness though it's more common in adults. Try and reduce your child's exposure to these gadgets as much as possible. Make a note as to whether he rubs his eyes more often. Excessing rubbing indiacates allergy which is more common in children during summers.
