Hello, frequent blinking in children can often be alleviated by minimizing prolonged use of electronic devices in daily life, which helps effectively reduce eye fatigue. Nutritionally, you may provide your child with foods rich in vitamins. Additionally, under a physician’s guidance, artificial tear eye drops may be used for treatment, which can improve symptoms. This condition may result from refractive errors or prolonged eye strain. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
