My daughter has bags under her eyes..?

Question

My 9 yr old has dark circles under her eyes.. She has almost always had them and sometimes they are worse than others.. I looks like lack of sleep.. but she gets 10 hours a night... Goes to bed a 8:30 and gets up a little before 7am. If she cries it's even worse! Is this lack of iron in her system.. or something else. ??? Is there something I can give her?

Answer 1

the doctor i went to said it had to do with not drinking enough water, dehydration, or however u spell it, I tried drinking lots of water and it got mostly better,try to make a chart, each day have her cross out a glass everytime she drinks a cup of ,water it helped me, maybe it will help her

Answer 2

definatly allergies. ive had the same problem as well as both of my boys, ages 5 and 6. talk to your peditrician about allergy testing. now all three of us have been tested and are on meds. what a world of difference!!!

Answer 3

it could be lack of iron, or maybe she really isnt sleeping. tonight, when you tuck her in (if you do that) dont close the door all the way. listen in on her for a little while to make sure that she isnt watching tv, playing a game, listening to music, etc. hope this helps!

Answer 4

It could be allergies, my son had the same problem when he was younger.

Answer 5

Allergies.  My son also has the dark circles and we started giving him allergy shots and changed his diet and they are gone.  Think about doing an allergy panel on her.
