Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Consider Tourette Syndrome; the treatment of Tourette Syndrome includes psychological behavioral therapy, medication, and physical therapy. If the episodes are not very frequent, medication may not be necessary for the time being. Psychological behavioral therapy should be the primary approach. Explain the nature of the disease to the parents of the child, so they do not become anxious or tense, as this can eliminate the reinforcing effects caused by parental tension and excessive attention. Adopt a non-responsive attitude toward the child's tics, allowing the symptoms to gradually weaken and fade. Do not repeatedly remind or scold the child, as this will further enhance the excitability of the cerebral cortex and make the tics more frequent. Strive to divert the child's attention and guide them to participate in various meaningful activities.
