What Causes Excessive Blinking And Squint In Eyes Of A Child?
I have a 6 year old boy that started excessive blinking and squinting of the yes when he does it sometime his mouth twitches a little, now last night in his sleep he was twitching a little. He gets up in the middle of the night and crawls into bed with us almost everynight. He does once in a while get headaches on the top of his head. My son and i were in a car accident about 2 years ago i was hit from the back the van hit us at 45mph when we were stopped. glass was all over him i had no back end of my car the fire department said if i didnt have a table in there he would have died. We are not for sure if symptoms are showing up now from the accident or if it something else it is really concerning us. He just recently pass an EEG test for seizures.
The description seems like a seizure, and seizures usually don't show up on an EEG if there are no known triggers, he can also be facing post traumatic stress which can at times be delayed, talk to him, ask if he feels something before he starts excessive blinking. You may need to visit a pediatric neurologist.
