How to treat a child with Tourette syndrome?

Patient's question:

The child also uncontrollably coughs and makes some strange noises in class, affecting the classmates' ability to listen. Treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help do you expect: Treatment

Doctor's answer:

A child with Tourette syndrome experiences rapid, repetitive, simple, and complex muscle contractions. Generally, they cannot cure themselves, and only a few can experience relief during adolescence. Children with mild symptoms do not require medication but need active intervention, such as adjusting environmental factors and eliminating negative psychological factors. If a child has seizures, medication should be taken according to the doctor's guidance, and parental supervision is usually sufficient for treatment. It is recommended not to worry too much, to relax, to cooperate actively with the doctor, and to pay attention to rest.
