Suggest Remedies For Double Vision And Eye Pain

My 7yr old son has been complaining with double vision episodes and pain on and off in both eyes. He has had his eyes checked by our gp and everything seemed fine. That was 2 weeks ago since then he has had more episodes of this double vision and eye pain and yesterday has started complaining of a bad taste in his mouth. I am concerned with this new symptom and I would be grateful for some advice. Thank you

His vision is to be tested. Movment of eye ball to be checked in all direction to detect paralysis of any muscle. Cover test is to be done. With finding of these test it is to be informed whether the pain is on movement of eyeball or constant. With finding an eye doctor should check the child.
