What kind of help do you expect: Why would a child this young be doing this? Please advise the doctor on how I can help the child eliminate the blinking problem.
Doctor's answer:
Children blink frequently / rubbing their eyes does not necessarily indicate conjunctivitis. This condition was traditionally referred to in Chinese medicine as "" (dá mù). Nowadays, it is more commonly seen in children who dislike meat and snacks. Additionally, it can occur in children with digestive and endocrine imbalances or chronic conditions. Due to these circumstances, the eyes lack the necessary nutrients, leading them to rely on frequent blinking to meet their surface needs. The primary treatment involves digesting vitamin A and various other trace elements. Apply one drop of eye drops such as "" (shǎn liàng), "" (rùn jié), or "" (zhēn ài míng).
