Patient's question:
Starting from October 31, 2016, a 4-year-old child's neck and chin moved involuntarily to the left, moving every 20 seconds or so.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of the child may need to rule out Tourette syndrome. It is mainly caused by mild brain dysfunction, leading to muscle twitching. It is a condition characterized by multiple involuntary tics, which can manifest as blinking, squinting, rolling eyes, sniffling, opening the mouth, nodding, shaking the head, stretching the neck, and shrugging the shoulders.Advice: It is best to first visit a pediatric department or neurology department in the hospital to get a clear diagnosis. Treatment mainly involves medication to control the symptoms, such as haloperidol.
