how eye flu cause - #15368

Yash

I am worried because my son has been having these weird symptoms that seem like eye flu or something. Just last week, he started complaining about his eyes feeling really itchy and we noticed they were all red. He was also tearing up a lot and kinda squinting whenever he looked at bright lights. I took him to the pediatrician, and they mentioned something about how eye flu cause could be linked to allergies or even viral infections. But honestly, I’m still kinda confused. Like, how does eye flu cause these symptoms in kids? We've tried keeping him inside more to avoid allergens, but it seems not to help much. The doctor suggested some eye drops, but I’m not sure if that’s gonna fix the root problem. Could it be contagious? I've heard mixes of opinions on eye flu cause being due to bacteria or viruses. Is it just something that will pass, or should we be doing something else? Any thoughts from other parents or docs would be super helpful! I'm just trying to understand how eye flu cause these issues because it’s really stressing both of us out.
