Should I Be Concerned If Child Keeps Blinking Both Eyelids Frequently?
My 5 year old daughter keeps blinking both eyelids , sometimes as often as every 5-10 seconds. She says her eyes don't hurt or itch but it is an obvious agitation of some form that is causing this. Does this sound like something serious that we need to schedule an appointment right away, and if so with a MD or an eye doctor ?

It could be a normal thing and unlikely to be due to agitation.
It does not require emergency assesement.
Take a routine appointment with Ophthalmologist.
A thorough examination by Ophthalmologist will be very reassuring
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
