I don’t know if you have noticed that some children have dark circles under their eyes at a young age. Maybe you think this is caused by the child\’s lack of sleep, but recently there is another saying on the Internet: the most likely cause of the child\’s \”panda eyes\” is nasal congestion! Don\’t be too surprised, it\’s true! Rhinitis can cause children to have dark circles under their eyes. Parents and friends, please note that dark circles in children are different from those in us adults. Generally, they are not caused by lack of sleep or poor sleep quality, but may be caused by health problems. Barton Schmidt, a foreign medical doctor, once published an article in a parenting magazine, saying that dark circles around children\’s eyes are most likely caused by rhinitis. If a child\’s nose is not clear, the blood vessels around the eyes will become thicker, and the blood will turn black, blood circulation will be affected, and the venous blood will be blocked around the eyes, forming obvious dark circles. Nasal congestion is a very common symptom, mostly caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, hay fever, and allergic reactions. In addition, enlarged tonsils may cause children to unconsciously breathe through their mouths from time to time, which may also cause nasal congestion. In addition, enlarged tonsils may also cause nasal congestion. In theory, there are different treatments available to resolve nasal congestion. Other causes of panda eyes in children In addition to rhinitis, there are other causes of dark circles under the eyes. Panda eyes can be inherited in families. For some people, the skin around the eyes is very thin and there is very little subcutaneous tissue. Blood flows through the large veins here, and blue-black halos, or dark circles, will appear under the surface of the skin. You can check to see if anyone in your family has dark circles. If many people have it, it’s not surprising that the child has dark circles. Let me put it quietly, it is more common for Caucasians to have natural dark circles. Fair-skinned children with fair-skinned skin will have more obvious panda eyes than children with normal or dark-skinned skin. If this is the case, don\’t worry too much. This does not mean that there is something wrong with the child\’s health. Some children with weak constitutions are born with deficiencies, resulting in long-term loss of kidney qi, which will leave a pair of eyes with little energy and moisture, causing dark circles under the eyes. No matter what the child\’s condition is, whether the child is recovering from a long-term illness or a serious illness, the subcutaneous tissue around the eyes is relatively weak at this time, and the skin is prone to pigmentation, and the upper and lower eyelids are prone to dark shadows. TIP: Dark circles under the eyes are not a symptom of anemia. Children with panda eyes usually look pale, but dark circles under the eyes are not one of the symptoms of anemia. Your child may look a little pale because of a stuffy nose or swollen skin. How to get rid of dark circles in children? So, what should we do if our children have dark circles to help them get rid of them? Basic approach: Prescribing the right medicine is the best way. If it\’s allergy-related, try to reduce the symptoms by keeping your child away from the allergen. If the child\’s panda eyes are indeed caused by rhinitis, then everyone must find a way to smooth the child\’s nose and eliminate the culprit causing the disease. I would like to remind everyone that if a child often rubs his nose or eyes due to nasal congestion, it will easily aggravate the dark circles, increase their area and deepen their color. You must help your child get rid of the nasal congestion in time. TIP: To prevent rhinitis, during the change of seasons or rhinitis epidemic period, try to take your children to public places with a large flow of people as little as possible. If you go out, you should wear a mask. At ordinary times, you should also pay attention to maintaining indoor air circulation, and you can use vinegar to fumigate to kill germs. The relief method is to use ice compress to temporarily relieve the swelling and discomfort of the child\’s eyes and expand the blood vessels, making the dark circles better. The method is to apply a towel soaked in cold water to the child\’s eyes for about 10 minutes. If it doesn\’t work, you can consult a doctor to see if there are any hidden health problems in your child\’s body. There are eye exercises for preventive health care of the eyes, and there are also eye exercises for the nose. Here’s how to do the exercises: use the sides of the thumbs of both hands to massage up and down on both sides of the nose until the local skin feels warm. It is recommended to apply once a day in the morning and evening to speed up local blood circulation in the nose and make the nose breathe smoothly. I would like to remind everyone that if your child has dark circles and you are unable to determine the cause, it is recommended that you take him or her for a checkup.
