Hello
Being a Squint specialist myself, we routinely get to see such cases. Don't worry about your squint returning back, a comprehensive squint examination can give us the cause and pattern of squint and in most of such cases, we can do a correction surgery which can give satisfactory outcome. Many patients maintain straight eyes if everything goes well.
Next Steps
Consult nearest Pediatric Ophthalmologist and Squint specialist
