Your kid has dark circles under her eyes and she is nine.
You have blamed allergies. You have blamed screens. You moved bedtime up thirty minutes and nothing changed. Here is the part nobody mentions. When a child cannot breathe easily through the night, her sleep stays shallow no matter how many hours she is in bed. The circles are what tired looks like on a face that young.
Sometimes it is allergies. Sometimes it is the airway, and that is worth checking before the school year gets going.
Dr. Yamashiro looks at every child's airway at every visit, including how the tonsils and jaw sit in relation to the breathing space. If the circles come with snoring, mouth breathing, or restless nights, call us at (253) 863-7005 and ask what a screening involves. Your mouth is a reflection of your whole body, and we treat you accordingly.
How long have you been blaming allergies?
