Patient's question:
The baby is five years old. Recently, the baby has been fond of straining to close their eyes or mouth, with great force, as if they are about to squeeze the eyeballs out. When closing their mouth, the lips are pushed inside. Moreover, every time the baby makes these two movements, their whole body strains, trembling like shivering. I really don't know what's going on. Besides these, everything else is normal.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, there is a high possibility of childhood Tourette syndrome. I would like to ask if the child has recently been exposed to some kind of psychological influence or verbal influence, or if they have just moved to a new environment? These similar factors are all potential triggers for the condition. It is recommended to seek treatment as early as possible, and it would be best to consult a pediatric neurology specialist, as they can provide a more comprehensive screening plan. Family members should also provide psychological and emotional support to enhance psychological therapy. The above suggestions are for the question "Five-year-old baby always likes to squint or close their mouth hard." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
