Patient's question:
Tianjin Condition Description: My son, 50 days old, recently noticed that he sometimes jerks, like a nervous twitch, about two or three times. Is there any problem? Also, he often shakes his hands non-stop. Medical history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given. The first time it was noticed. What kind of help do you want: Text and voice are both acceptable.Doctor's answer:
Genetic Factors: Transient tic disorders can exhibit familial clustering, with a higher incidence of tics among family members of affected children, suggesting a possible association with genetic factors.Physical Factors: Tics often begin due to local irritation. For example, conjunctivitis or trichiasis may cause eye blinking, while rhinitis or upper respiratory infections can lead to nose rubbing and facial muscle tics. Even after the local disease factors are resolved, the tic symptoms may persist.
Constitutional Factors: Children with tics are generally restless, sensitive to others and situations, neurotic, have high standards, and tend to be stubborn. They often also exhibit psychological symptoms, such as headaches, abdominal pain, unexplained fever, constipation, asthma, and enuresis.
