Patient's question:
My son is over three years old. Compared to his peers, he always can't sit still and seems particularly naughty. The kindergarten teacher suggested we take him to the hospital for a check-up, where he was diagnosed with childhood Tourette syndrome. Could you please tell me what are the dangers of childhood Tourette syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Children with Tourette syndrome often attract the attention of those around them when they are ill, which affects their self-confidence and communication with peers. It also impacts their concentration. In class, they may not listen attentively or complete their homework properly. At the same time, it can also lead to feelings of inferiority and a lonely personality in children. Therefore, it is essential for parents and teachers to provide proper guidance. In necessary cases, oral medication and psychological intervention can be used for treatment.
