Patient's question:
The child has been blinking intermittently these days, blinking continuously for a while, and also loves crying with a lot of tears. They also enjoy playing with their phone. What could be the cause, and is there a treatment plan?Doctor's answer:
The child has been blinking intermittently these days, blinking continuously for a few times, and also likes to cry with excessive tearing. It is suspected to be due to calcium deficiency. Based on your description, it may be related to frequent use of mobile phones. In this case of the baby, it is considered that excessive eye use and dry eyes can lead to a continuous increase in blinking frequency. Additionally, inflammation-induced causes should not be ruled out. If the symptoms are significant and persist without improvement, it is recommended to visit the ophthalmology department for a follow-up examination. It is advised to give the child oral calcium supplements and reduce mobile phone use.
