Patient's question:
My daughter's Tourette syndrome has improved. I want to know if the tics will still be present after recovery? What problems should be paid attention to?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Let's see what factors might be causing it, for example brain injury: such as birth trauma, asphyxia, etc., which are more prone to cause tics. Physical factors: conjunctivitis or ectropion can cause blinking, upper respiratory tract infection can cause sniffling, facial muscle twitching. When these diseases are treated, the twitching symptoms may persist. These diseases mostly occur in the age group of 3-10 years, most commonly occurring in the age group of 4-7 years, but they can also start as early as 2 years old. The main clinical manifestation is simple motor tics, usually localized to the head, neck, and upper limbs, a minority may have simple vocal tics. The duration of the tics does not exceed one year.
