Patient's question:
My child is over 5 weeks old this year and is always restless, hyperactive, and mischievous. The kindergarten teacher also often complains to me about him. I really don't know what to do. Some people say, is it possible that he has ADHD? Now, I'm really scared. What happens if ADHD gets severe?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, Tourette syndrome often starts with frequent blinking, raising eyebrows, frowning, nose-picking, lip-smacking, opening the mouth, tongue sticking out, nodding, head shaking, head tilting, and head jerking. As the disease progresses, the symptoms of Tourette syndrome gradually diversify. They may include shoulder shrugging, neck twisting, foot kicking, leg shaking, body jerking, chest and abdominal twitching, stealing or limb twitching, etc.Tourette syndrome in children is a chronic condition that requires careful management. Science can help children understand the world around them, thereby enabling effective treatment. For more information about Tourette syndrome, you can visit the China Terminal Illness Network for additional details. At the same time, if possible, you can go to a formal rehabilitation center to learn about relevant treatment methods. Do not blindly trust medication—this condition is primarily about properly guiding the child's attention!
