How should you deal with full-body tics?

Patient's question:

4 months to clarify the condition and duration of the current illness: About 45 minutes.
Current general condition: Good.
Medical history: Had a similar condition in December last year.
Previous diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes: During the onset, there were ( means involuntary muscle twitches all over the body), ( means teeth clenched tightly), ( means eyes straightened), and 382 (382 means body temperature was 38.2°C). After about ( means half an hour), it improved on its own.

Doctor's answer:

Common causes of generalized convulsions include epilepsy, high fever convulsions, tetany (hypocalcemic convulsions), hysterical convulsions, and hyperventilation syndrome, among others. However, in adults who experience convulsions while conscious, it is more commonly seen in tetany, hysterical convulsions, and hyperventilation syndrome. The primary treatment should target the underlying cause. If the blood calcium level is low, further examination should be conducted to identify the cause of the hypocalcemia. If organic lesions are ruled out, and the condition is attributed to autonomic nervous system disorders, such as occasional episodes, medication is generally not necessary.
