What are the symptoms of childhood Tourette syndrome?

Patient's question:

I always feel that my child has slight tics. I want to know what symptoms this disease actually has.

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of Tourette syndrome are quite varied, for example: vocal tics refer to sudden, meaningless sounds, such as sniffing, clearing the throat, screaming, vomiting, and barking roses. In multiple tics, children may experience tics in the neck, shoulders, limbs, and torso, repeating specific words and phrases, repeating words or phrases spoken by themselves or others, and obscene behaviors. Some patients also have obsessive symptoms, attention deficit, and hyperactivity symptoms. Some children may also exhibit self-injurious behaviors, emotional disorders, or learning difficulties.
