Excessive Eye Blinking

[5918]

Our four and a half year old daughter, otherwise healthy, developed excessive blinking with some lip licking around December of last year.  She had just tested positive for strep throat (based on a swab, not culture) and recieved treatment a week prior.  We speculated whether the stress from a christmas party at our home or the glue used in the hardwood we had installed or the strep was the cause.  We also had her checked out by a pediatric opthamologist, pediatric neurologist and her pediatrician.  Each said their tests on her were normal (i.e eye, neurological assessments, etc).  It eventually resolved on its own after six weeks or so.  Exactly a year later almost to the day, the blinking is back but not with lip licking.  First, she developed a low grade fever prior to onset (below 99.9) then started blinking a few days later. So far, strep swab negative but has been sent for culture.  Is this due to seasonal allergies?  Does anyone have any information at all that might help?
