Patient's question:
My child is very sensitive and also very stubborn. Sometimes, due to lack of rest and being playful, he exhibits symptoms of Tourette syndrome. What are the general causes of Tourette syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Children with Tourette syndrome are primarily caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. Children with Tourette syndrome often exhibit hyperactivity, poor self-control, difficulty concentrating, and impulsive behavior; they frequently squint their eyebrows, blink, shake their heads, pout their lips, shrug their shoulders, and twist their necks. It is recommended that parents do not panic, as long as they take the correct treatment measures, the earlier the treatment, the better for the child's recovery. It is suggested that fruits and vegetables should be eaten more often in daily life, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided.
