3 year old blinking one eye shut? tic?
My daughter just turned 3 and has been blinking/closing her right eye shut for the past 3 weeks. At first, it looked like a wink and we thought she was doing it on purpose, but it has turned into a more forceful wink of the right eye and sometimes her cheek tenses up. After it happens she tells me her eye/or cheek hurt her. My doctor said it is probably just a tic. If it gets worse or doesn't subside within 4 weeks I am to take her back. I am worried it might get worse or be something alot more serious altogether. What are some things I can do to help her if it is a tic? What else could it be? Oh...and she sometimes rubs her right eye and tells me it hurts. Any suggestions..or has anyone heard of something like this before?
thanks

my daughter is 3 1/2 and is complaining of the exact same syptoms, except it is her left eye. Let me know if you have found anything out...we're still stumped.
