My son was blinking his eyes excessively. I had his eyes checked and the doctor said he has seasonal allergies. Pataday was prescribed. After 2 days he is still blinking. I think it improved a little bit but the blinking is not gone. The swelling underneath his eyes has not improved yet. How long does it usually take for the medication to work?

It could take a week or so assuming that allergy is the correct diagnosis (a bit out of season for most areas in the country).  Depending on his age, he may also have Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis so you may want to read about this online and ask your doctor to clarify what the correct diagnosis is in technical terms.
