Patient's question:
I found that my child is just... comes home and doesn't do homework, then keeps making faces, jumping around, shaking his head, and shrugging. I got worried that he might have ADHD, so I took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it's tics, and I wonder how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Now it is mainly Tourette syndrome. Tourette syndrome can manifest as blinking of the eyebrows, head shaking, and shoulder shrugging. It may be related to severe cold and physical and chemical stimuli. Therefore, this condition has occurred. For Tourette syndrome, medication for antitremor is more effective. You can receive treatment in the neurology department of a local hospital under the guidance of a doctor, which is beneficial for controlling the disease. Daily, you also need to pay more attention to the child's condition, interact with the child more, and encourage him to recover faster.
