My baby is three years old and recently I've noticed that when he blinks, his eyeballs roll and he whites of his eyes show

Patient's question:

My baby is three years old. Recently, I noticed that when he blinks, his eyeball slides and whites of the eyes show. I took him to the ophthalmologist, who said there's nothing wrong. He blinks less during the day and more at night. Sometimes he blinks more frequently when looking at his phone or watching TV. They suggested I take him to a pediatrician to check for tics! I want to ask if the symptoms of tics can be like this? If it is tics, will it be difficult to treat?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your baby may indeed have Tourette syndrome. Tourette syndrome is characterized by eye blinking. It is recommended that you take your child to the pediatric department of a hospital for a check-up. It is best to avoid letting the child use a smartphone. I hope my explanation helps you. The above is advice on the question "My baby is three years old, and recently I noticed that when he blinks, his eyes move and roll up." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you health!
