Patient's question:
The child is 6 years old. Recently, it has been found that he always blinks his eyes for no reason. When asked, he said he didn't. Moreover, the frequency has been increasing recently. After searching online, it is said to be Tourette syndrome!Doctor's answer:
Treat the cause of the disease. If necessary, antibiotic eye drops can be applied to the eyes, and ingrown eyelashes can be removed, as well as foreign bodies in the cornea and conjunctiva. It is also necessary to stop watching TV and playing computer games. If the blinking or squinting is due to bad habits, parents should not scold the child solely, but instead educate them to consciously minimize blinking and squinting, and gradually overcome the bad habits of blinking and squinting.
