Can children with Tourette syndrome recover without treatment?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my son is 6 years old and currently attending kindergarten. I noticed that his left eyelid has been twitching frequently. Later, I asked about it and was told it might be childhood tics. I heard that childhood tics can resolve on their own, but I'm not very clear about it. Therefore, I would like to ask if childhood tics can resolve on their own?

Doctor's answer:

Children with convulsions have a long course of the disease and can recover from mild convulsions. However, some children need to be treated in a formal hospital. With professional treatment, most can achieve good results. The treatment of tic disorders is a long process. Parents must have enough patience to help their children overcome the disease and avoid affecting their psychological development and learning ability. It is recommended that children be taken to a formal hospital for treatment.
