Sunken eyes
My 9 year old son is having sunken eyes and prominent dark circles under his eyes..his adenoids were enlarged 2-3 years back, but when I showed to an ENT recently, he did x ray and told that adenoids are reduced significantly and I don't need to go for any operation to remove them. He has issue of nasal polys also on and off.. plus has dust allergy as well. I am quite concerned with the appearance of dark circles. Have visited many doctors but cannot find anything. Please suggest

Sunken eyes and dark circles in children are very commonly associated with nasal congestion due to conditions like allergies and enlarged adenoids. While the adenoids may have reduced, ongoing issues like nasal polyps and dust allergies can still cause significant congestion, leading to swelling of blood vessels under the thin under-eye skin (known as "allergic shiners"). Ensuring adequate sleep, hydration, and an allergen-free environment at home can help manage the symptoms
