Allergic Conjunctivitis

Allergic conjunctivitis is an eye condition that occurs when a child's immune system reacts to allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander. This leads to symptoms such as redness, itching, tearing, and swelling of the eyes. In children, it is often linked to other allergic conditions, such as asthma or hay fever. Treatment typically involves avoiding allergens, using cool compresses, and taking antihistamines or eye drops to relieve symptoms. It’s important to consult a pediatrician or allergist for proper diagnosis and management to ensure the child's comfort and eye health.
