I have a 5 year old and noticed red like circles under her eyes. Today the eyelids are red and puffy. She said her eyes hurt as well. I saw a couple of red bumps on the cheeks which could be bug bites. Is this something I can fix at home or do I need to get her peditrician s opinion? Mainly would could this be a sign of?
Hi, Is there redness, conjunctiva or any discharge from eyes? It would be easier if you can send us a picture. Sudden onset red circles below eyes, followed by swelling of eyelids most likely indicates reaction to an insect bite. For such cases, I used to give an antihistamine like HY Chat Doctor.  Severe cases might need steroids also. It is better to see your pediatrician, as the cause need to be ascertained. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
