Why does my three-year-old baby keep blinking?

There are many reasons why children aged 2-3 years often blink their eyes, such as infectious conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, dry eyes, ADHD, etc. can all manifest as blinking.

Infectious conjunctivitis is mainly caused by bacteria or viruses, and is often accompanied by systemic diseases such as colds and pneumonia. Children will have symptoms such as red eyes, photophobia, excessive yellow secretions, and tearing, and are sensitive to antibiotics or antiviral drugs. Generally, the course of bacterial infection is about 1 week, while the course of viral infection is longer, 2-3 weeks. Allergic conjunctivitis is more common in children with allergic constitutions, and is manifested by blinking, itchy eyes, itchy nose, and skin allergic symptoms. Dry eye syndrome is currently prevalent among school-age children. It is also called video terminal syndrome and is mainly related to excessive use of computers and other videos. Another type is ADHD, where the mouth and nose sometimes twitch while blinking, and the patient has problems such as inattention and poor academic performance, which require neurological treatment.

The above is an introduction to why a three-year-old baby always blinks. When encountering such symptoms, parents should observe in time whether your baby has the phenomenon of shrugging and clearing throat at the same time. If so, take the baby to the hospital for examination in time. In addition, be sure to pay attention to not let the child's eyes get tired, and not watch TV or computer for a long time.
