Suggest Treatment For An Infection In The Eye

My 6yo son has suddenly started rolling his eyes and blinking and it seems involuntary. It started two days ago after he had been swimming for a few hours. I ve since started using Allergy eye drops as well as Zyrtec, but have not seen any improvement.

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

It seems from the history that your son is having infection of the eyes following swimming. This is probably conjunctivitis and requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops.

Do consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and prescription of drugs.

Thank you
