Why does my 10-month-old have itchy eyes?

The most common cause of eye itching in 10-month-olds is seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (allergic eye cold) or environmental allergens like pollen, dust, or dust mites. Your baby may rub their eyes, with redness and mild tearing.
However, if there's yellow-green discharge, crusty eyelid margins, or sticky eyes in the morning, this suggests infection (bacterial conjunctivitis). If there's no fever and the discharge is clear, gently wiping with a cotton pad dipped in cool water can provide temporary relief. Still, any eye itching in a 10-month-old should be evaluated by a pediatrician or pediatric eye specialist—allergy eye drops are prescribed by doctors only. While your baby rubs their eyes, maintain hand hygiene and keep their nails short to prevent injury.
