Patient's question:
What's wrong with your son blinking so much? The child has been like this for a long time, and I'm very worried that it might get worse. Please give me some advice.Doctor's answer:
Blinking is an instinctive movement of the human body, a normal physiological activity of the eye muscles. When people feel uncomfortable or tense, reflexive blinking may occur, such as dry eyes and squinting eyes. These are normal muscle activities. However, when parents notice that their child frequently blinks unconsciously without realizing it, and their eyelids tremble uncontrollably, this is the first symptom of Tourette Syndrome. Parents should take their child to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying treatment. Parents should treat the situation correctly and be aware of the severity of the issue. Only in this way can they guide their child to seek medical attention promptly, avoid delaying treatment, and ensure the child's physical health.
