Why does my child keep blinking?

Children blinking, or always blinking, may be a common problem for many parents. Some parents, after checking their children's eyes themselves, found that there was neither redness nor swelling, and basically could not see any other conditions. They felt that the eyes were normal, but the children just like to blink. Therefore, sometimes parents ignore this situation, thinking it is just a matter of their children's own preferences. However, this is not the case in reality. So why do children always blink?

If the child does not have inverted eyelashes, I will teach you a method: let the child close his eyes and look directly into the sun, feel the red color of the eyelid blood vessels, and take a deep breath. In the evening and morning when the sunlight is not glaring, you can try looking directly at the sunlight, and gradually you can get rid of your fear of the sunlight. At the same time, let the child consciously control not to blink. Many children of this age are like this.

Children who blink a lot suffer from tics, which is actually a very serious disease. The cause of the disease is still unknown. If it is not treated, most children will continue to have tics into adulthood, leading to attention deficit, learning difficulties, behavioral disorders, strange personality and even bad temper. Tics are mainly a disease related to abnormalities of the nervous development system, so it is difficult to treat and requires professional technology to completely get rid of the troubles of tics.

first step:

If your child often blinks or squeezes his eyes, you should first carefully ask him if he has any discomfort in his eyes, whether he feels itchy or has a foreign body sensation. If the eyes become red, itchy, have increased secretions, or tear, while blinking, you should take your child to an ophthalmologist to find out the cause.

Step 2:

After ruling out the above two possibilities, if the child still blinks frequently and it persists for a period of time, the child should be taken to a hospital with a special Tourette syndrome department for examination. This will avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis to the greatest extent. The director of pediatrics recommends that parents detect and treat their children’s frequent blinking early and not delay the best treatment period for tics.

If parents find that their children are always blinking, and they cannot see any problems with their children's eyes, they should not scold or beat them, because this will cause serious harm to the children's physical and mental health.
