Soothing Relief for Your Child’s Eyes
Red, itchy, watery eyes can make children miserable — and leave parents wondering whether it’s just allergies or something more serious, like an eye infection. Because eye irritation can stem from a variety of causes, expert diagnosis is the first step toward fast, effective relief.
Common Eye Allergies in Kids
Children’s eyes are especially sensitive to environmental allergens like pollen, pet dander, dust, and mold. When allergens come into contact with the eyes, they trigger inflammation and the release of histamines — leading to:
Itching and burning Excessive tearing Redness and swelling
Signs of an Eye Infection
Unlike allergies, eye infections are typically caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and they often involve:
Thick discharge (yellow, green, or white) Crusting around the eyes, especially upon waking Sensitivity to light Pain or discomfort
