How to Treat Pediatric Tourette Syndrome More Effectively

Patient's question:

In the past half year, we have noticed some abnormal behavior in our child, especially in certain actions. We took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said this condition falls under pediatric tic disorder. I've heard that treating this condition can be quite difficult, so I wanted to ask if pediatric tic disorder can be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Children with twitching need psychological therapy and medication. It is a chronic condition. Generally, we should avoid overexertion, tension, and emotional excitement. Parents can help children correct these twitching habits. Children with tic disorders may unconsciously blink, shrug, shake their heads, and exhibit similar symptoms. Parents can help children establish reasonable work and sleep schedules, ensure adequate sleep, and encourage them to have more while avoiding excessive psychological pressure on them.
