Allergy Clinic

Allergic conjunctivitis in children causes red, itchy, and watery eyes due to allergens such as pollen or pet dander. It is similar to hay fever but affects the eyes. Children may also experience a runny or blocked nose. Parents can reduce symptoms by keeping windows closed on windy days, maintaining a clean home environment to reduce dust, and washing their child’s face and hands after outdoor activities. Over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops or allergy medications may provide relief.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical advice for individual treatment. Effective management involves identifying and avoiding triggers while ensuring appropriate medication use to improve long-term symptom control and quality of life.
