We were always told that this was due to allergies.

Dark Under-Eye Circles

Hi All,

I know this has been a topic in the past and unfortunatly, I can't seem to

access the archives here tonight so I'm hoping someone out there can give me any

info that's already out there.

Over the past week, my nearly 3-year-old son has had dark circles under his

eyes regularly. This usually only occurs when he's REALLY tired and I'm stumped

because he's even waking up with them these days.... and he's been well; no

stuffiness, no fever and acting like himself (with the exception of this morning

when I said " good morning " to him and he told me to " shut up Mom " ...nice,

hugh?).

Any info/thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Paige,

Thank you for asking this question. My son has had the same thing for the

past couple of weeks. I thought maybe he was not absorbing the enough of

the ABDEK we are using since ADEK is on back order. I have ask the doc..

my son does not have any known allgeries, no fever and is not coughing

same as your three year old. Once again, thanks for asking.

Dear Dawn,

Do all of your children have allergies? If so, do they ALL get the

under-eye circles?

And, besides the indoor dust-mite stuff, is there something food-wise that I

should be watching for?

Thank you for your reply,

Paige

I was always told it was because of sinuses and allergies. My oldest gets

dark circles under her eyes terrible and I have notice that after she has had

sinus surgeries they go away for a little while. Hope this helps Deb A

Hi Paige,

Aside from sleepiness and an infection, the dark circle could also be from

dehydration. Sometimes it is easy to forget about drinking water when it is not

so hot out. Count how many glasses of water he is drinking. Just a thought.

My kids have seasonal allergies. Their dark circles come at different times of

the year for all of them, except for one who seems to have them year round. For

the older two (no cf) and my youngest (w/cf) we tend to use flonase. For my one

who has them all the time (no cf) we use the claritin tablets for kids. A whole

tablet dries her out too much, and then she ends up with bronchitis, so we

usually give her only a half of one.

As for food stuffs, it is always possible that he is allergic to something.

Have you introduced him to anything new lately? You can with hold certain foods

for a couple of weeks and then reintroduce them one at a time and see if he has

any reaction to them.

Try increasing foods and beverages that are high in potassium. Some

people say that whenever they get dark circles, they take salt

tablets and the circles go away. But I'd try potassium first.

Almost all persons with allergies have this indicator; can also be true of

sinusitis caused by allergies as well as by bacteria. I wound data on:

Paige,

Your son's morning response made me laugh.

Abby also has dark circles. The doctors have suggested that it could

be... heredity, reflux, or allergies
