Patient's question:
My child was punched in the chest by a classmate around April 25th. After that, his neck started feeling uncomfortable. Whenever he felt uncomfortable, he would twist it a bit, and it would feel a little better. He twisted it once every less than ten minutes. Did you hit a nerve? Why is this happening? I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
This is a typical case of Tourette syndrome. The condition may improve on its own or worsen, and the affected areas may increase. It may even lead to the occurrence of strange sounds. Treatment is not easy. Some cases can last for a long time.When the body is not tense and emotions are completely relaxed during sleep, the tics may disappear. Many parents are not aware of the condition and often seek treatment from various places, causing the child to become overly anxious and exhausting both the parents' energy and finances without achieving satisfactory results. In fact, psychological treatment for both the parents and the child is key to curing the disease. It is recommended to go to a pediatric hospital for a specific examination.
