What Causes Pain And Squinting Of Eyes With Fever In Child?
My 3 year old child says that his eyes are hurting and he keeps squinting. It started about a week ago, and seemed to disipate, but today it is the worse it has ever been. Today he has a 101 fever, yesterday he was fine. WHat could this problem be?

Hi,
Both are unlikely related. Fever without other symptoms might suggest viral fever, and we can wait for 3 days with Paracetamol. We can evaluate further if fever continues beyond 3 days or other symptoms appear. Squinting, if persistent, kindly consult an ophthalmologist for evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
