Patient's question:
My child has now been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. The child's behavior is always difficult to control. The doctor said we, as parents, need to help the child correct it more. How can we do it well?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment for Tics: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the condition is diagnosed based on syndrome differentiation, with an emphasis on the five elements theory of Yin Yang, ying qi, and qi blood, as well as the tongue and pulse. Targeted herbal decoctions, patent medicines, acupuncture, massage, auricular therapy, and meridian therapy are selected accordingly. While controlling symptoms, it is important to improve the child's constitution and eliminate the root cause. For example, children with depression should be supplemented with liver soothing and depression relief methods to promote a cheerful temperament, ensuring personalized treatment plans. During the course of treatment, medications can be adjusted according to the condition at any time. Children should not receive long-term treatment, as it may affect the therapeutic effect.
