Question

My child has been born not long ago and their eyes are always tearing up, and they tend to cry a lot. What could be causing them to constantly blink their eyes?

Answer

Hello, if your child’s eyes are constantly blinking, it could be due to conjunctivitis, trichiasis, keratitis, refractive error, or neurological issues. It’s advisable to consult a regular hospital for a check-up to identify the cause. If your child frequently blinks their eyes, you should take them to an ophthalmology department in the hospital to understand whether they have conjunctivitis or trichiasis. If your child is experiencing heat symptoms, in addition to taking Chinese medicine, they should also drink plenty of water and pay attention to their diet structure, maintaining a light and healthy diet. Always ensure good eye hygiene.
