Just started today. She’s been blinking rapidly lots throughout the day. What can it be? Any reason to go to dr if it continues tomorrow?

I'd go to the pediatrician or eye doctor if you can get in tomorrow. Can be a torn cornea or eye lash that is stuck. Best to deal with any issues before it turns into something more complicated with can affect sight. I would take it very seriously.

Ok thanks. I kind of felt weird to go to pediatrician for just excessive blinking but it was making me nervous. You made me feel better about running there. Guess I’ll see if she’s still doing it in morning. Thanks

You also want to rule out seizure activity. Not to scare you.

Did she just get the MMR vaccine?

Don’t ever feel weird about going to a pediatrician. That’s what they’re there for. As a parent we don’t always know the train behind certain things. Definitely get checked by a doctor Tom
