What Causes Eye Pain In A 11 Year Old?

Hi, My 11 year daughter has had a cold for about a week. She is now complaining it hurts to move her eyes in all directions except looking forward. The eye part has been going on for 2-3 days. Is this a normal part of a cold? The blood vessels in her eyes are a little inflammed and her eyes look slightly more bulgey than normal. She does not complain of any pressure though around or behind her eyes or on her face. She still has some minor nasal congestion and a slight cough but generally is improving with cold. Her nasal drainage is clear and not profuse. No fever. The eye pain does respond to Motrin. Should I be concerned about the eye pain? And how long could it last? Do you recommend any other measures of comfort? At what point would we need to see a doctor? Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is not normal and some serious issue is there. You should take your child to the hospital and get the complete investigation done as his eye muscles are being affected. Don't delay.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
