Why does the child always blink?

Patient's question:

Always blinking. No bumps on the eyelids, nothing unusual around the eyes. The child started blinking again after recovering from a cold a few days ago. There were no problems before the fever.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
Whatever assistance you can provide: Could you tell me what the cause might be?

Doctor's answer:

I consider the child's condition might be conjunctivitis, with eye pain, a slight foreign body sensation, frequent eye blinking, and some tearing symptoms. In the morning, there may be a bit of discharge, but generally, there are no other discomfort symptoms, which are often easily overlooked by people.
Survival care: The child's and adult's face basins and towels should be used separately. Especially for the fixed face basin in the bathroom, if it is used by the whole family, it is important to pay attention to timely sterilization. Towels and handkerchiefs should be washed and dried frequently. Do not use dirty hands to rub the eyes. When playing outside, it is also best to use flowing water to wash the face. In kindergarten, do not share handkerchiefs or other items with others.
