Patient's question:

Changchun Public Security General Hospital, there are about half a shoulder shrug, clear throat actions

Doctor's answer:

Tics in children fall under the category of pediatric psychology disorders. Generally, the prognosis is good, and most children will recover on their own over time. For mild cases that do not affect daily life or learning, special treatment is not necessary.
1. Treating physical conditions: Children with eye conditions such as conjunctivitis or ectropion should be referred to an ophthalmologist, while those with rhinitis or pharyngitis should see an otolaryngologist.
2. General supportive psychological therapy: Parents and children should be educated about the basic clinical characteristics of tics. They should understand that although tics have a long course, they are not incurable. With appropriate medication, almost every child can recover, helping to build confidence in overcoming the disease. At home, parents should not overly focus on the child’s symptoms or criticize or scold them. At school, teachers should understand the children and not assume they are intentionally misbehaving or deliberately opposing the teacher. Teachers should also avoid criticizing, scolding, or making fun of the children in front of their peers.
