A. It sounds like your 7-year-old may be dealing with chronic allergic conjunctivitis, which is an eye condition often triggered by allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander. Here are some ideas to help reduce the symptoms: Avoid Allergens: Try to limit exposure to common allergens, such as dust, pet hair, and pollen. Keep windows closed during allergy season and use air purifiers at home. Cold Compresses: Applying a cold compress or chilled washcloth over the eyes can provide relief from itching and inflammation. Eye Drops: Consult with your pediatrician or an eye specialist about using antihistamine or lubricating eye drops to help reduce the symptoms. They might also recommend preservative-free drops if the child needs frequent use. Cleanliness: Encourage frequent hand washing and avoid rubbing the eyes, as this can worsen irritation and spread allergens. Humidifier: Using a humidifier in your child’s room can help prevent dry air, which can exacerbate symptoms. Medication: In more persistent cases, your pediatrician might recommend oral antihistamines or other allergy medications suitable for children to help control the allergic response. If the symptoms persist, it’s a good idea to consult an eye specialist for a more thorough evaluation and targeted treatment plan.
