How many eye sties can a three year old get before i need to be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ophthalmologist: If an eye develops repeated sites, I recommend that an ophthalmologist evaluate your child for predisposing causes such as blockage in eyelid ducts. Also any instructions will be given about care of and prevention of these problems.
