Patient's question:
Dear expert, I have a child who is 7 years old and has been suffering from Tourette syndrome for about 2 years. He was diagnosed and started medication about 1 year ago. The symptoms have been fluctuating, but after taking the medication for 3 months, they have been stable most of the time. However, recently he has been complaining of neck pain and often needs to use his hand to forcefully pinch or shake his neck to relieve it. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, the child's neck pain may be caused by twitching and can be appropriately treated. It is recommended that parents do not pay too much attention to it, so as to avoid putting too much psychological pressure on the child, which could worsen the condition! Tourette syndrome is an organic brain damage. Currently, Western medicine can only control it but not cure it, and its side effects are greater, with a greater impact on children's intelligence. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on Buyei medicine. It can treat the condition without recurrence.
