Patient's question:
My son is half a year old. Recently, for some unknown reason, he keeps rubbing his eyes.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, it is necessary to carefully check whether the child's eyes are abnormal, such as redness, ingrown eyelashes, or small granular substances on the skin. If it is just a habitual action, you can adopt a method of diverting attention and should not forcibly restrain it to avoid negative reinforcement. It could also be dry eye syndrome, which may be related to nutritional imbalances, such as a lack of vitamin A in the diet or poor absorption of vitamin A. If necessary, it is advisable to have an ophthalmological examination to confirm the diagnosis.
