Can Visine Eye Drops Be Given To A Child Having Puffy Eyes?
can i give my 4 1/2 year old visine drops for his eye? it is puffy on the bottom (like when you get bags under your eyes), and very itchy. his eyeball is white, and his inner eyelid on the bottom is very red. i also notice the eye muscles are swollen a bit as well. he bumped his eye last week and did have a bruised upper eyelid for a while and now he has this. he is allergic to cats but he gets rashes not this. i get this similar eye condition when i touch horses as i am allergic to horses. we do not live anywhere near horses so i have no idea what could cause this

Hello. I just read through your question.
Visine is generally not recommended for children under the age of 6 years. I recommend consulting with your doctor about this.
