Patient's question:
What is the reason behind a child shaking their head and sticking out their tongue? Parents are very anxious. Thank you.Medical history and treatment outcomes: No specific treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is needed: Let's wait and see what's going on.
Doctor's answer:
The child shakes his head and sticks out his tongue. The child may have just learned these actions and finds them interesting, gaining some approval from adults when he first performs them. He may repeat these actions repeatedly to attract others' attention. Alternatively, these could be actions resulting from incomplete development of the nervous and muscular systems, which are all normal behaviors. Therefore, I don't think you need to be too anxious.
