Question
What are the reasons for a child frequently blinking?
Answer
This was historically referred to as “eye twitch” in traditional Chinese medicine. Today, frequent blinking in children may be related to picky eating, a preference for snacks, dysfunctional spleen and stomach, or chronic diseases. These factors can lead to insufficient nutrition for the eyes, prompting children to frequently blink to meet the surface needs of their eyes. The main treatment methods include supplementing with Vitamin A and various other vitamins, as well as using eye drops like “Eye Bright,” “Clean,” or “JianShiMing.” This treatment typically requires a duration of one to two months or more. However, changing children’s bad habits of picky eating and snacking, regulating dysfunctional spleen and stomach, and treating chronic diseases are the most fundamental solutions.
