My son is18 months old. he rolls his eyes 4-5 times in a day or may be more. His eyes go up while sitting or in arms and even while walking. He is otherwise a normal kid. I am worried about him. i need to know if it is an indication for something serious. please advice.

My sisters daughter had this problem at an older age - about 6 years old. The doctor said that normally it goes away after a while, but my sister was still very concerned. After another month, she again went to her doctor who recommended telling Jessica (the daughter) to "stop rolling your eyes" whenever she did it - in a kind and caring manner. Eventually it has slowed and stopped.

Maybe you could try this?

P.s. I'm not a Dr, I just know this from my sisters experience!
