Patient's question:
My child is very mischievous and always imitates the actions of family members. According to the elders, it might be tics. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of tics?Doctor's answer:
Some Tourette syndrome patients may imitate others' language or behavior and expressions. Some children exhibit imitative behavior, repetitive speech, compulsive behavior, or other special behaviors. If such behavior occurs, parents should pay attention and consult experienced doctors and hospitals when necessary. Many non-professional doctors are not familiar with this disease, so they are confused by various symptoms. Dry cough caused by throat muscle twitching is misdiagnosed as chronic pharyngitis or tracheitis; blinking and frowning are misdiagnosed as conjunctivitis; and rhinitis is misdiagnosed as chronic rhinitis. We should choose the earliest and most professional facial twitching hospital in China.
