Eyes keep twitching, don't force the upper eyelid to blink, it's a bit painful, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Eyes have been straining to blink for a long time without blinking, and the upper eyelid is a bit painful for over a month. About the previous treatment and its effects: No treatment has been done. What kind of help do you want: I want to ask if it can be cured.

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of your child can be seen in either Tourette syndrome or ADHD. I will now explain the differences between the two for your reference.
Tourette syndrome is characterized by involuntary muscle twitches in the face, limbs, and torso, accompanied by abnormal vocalizations, such as frequent eye blinking, frowning, nose picking, lip pursing, tongue protrusion, head shaking, nodding, and shoulder shrugging.
ADHD, on the other hand, is, frequent small movements, poor coordination, difficulty concentrating, and emotional issues like guilt.
