Question
The child has been blinking frequently lately, often blinking several times in a row, and is also very prone to crying, with more tears. They also love playing with their mobile phone. What could be the cause, and what treatment options are available?
Answer
The child’s frequent blinking might be due to calcium deficiency, as well as overuse of digital devices leading to dry and tired eyes. It is suggested to take oral calcium supplements and reduce the child’s time spent using mobile phones. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to take the child to an ophthalmology clinic for examination.
