Disease description:

The child tends to have sinusitis every spring. Recently, I noticed that he has developed a slight strabismus. Could this be caused by the sinusitis? I would like to ask, can childhood sinusitis cause strabismus?

Sinusitis in children does not cause strabismus. Strabismus may be related to poor daily eye habits. It can be corrected by wearing appropriate glasses at a正规 hospital to improve vision, and in some cases, surgery may also be an option. Patients are advised to seek evaluation at a正规 hospital, as medication should only be used after thorough examination. Additionally, maintaining good eye hygiene in daily life is important.
