Patient's question:
We have been working as day laborers all year round. The last time I came home to see my son, I noticed that he always blinked without limit. Except for the situation where the corners of his mouth twitch upwards, I am worried it might be a symptom of childhood tic disorder. I don't want it to lead to facial paralysis, so I want to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. Hello, can tic disorders be treated?Doctor's answer:
The child has again exhibited a number of symptoms without bounds, and there is a possibility of Tourette syndrome or epilepsy. It is recommended that you visit a local neurology hospital for relevant and thorough examinations to determine whether the child has Tourette syndrome or epilepsy. If a diagnosis is made, it is advised that you follow the doctor's instructions for further examinations. If it is epilepsy, the chance of self-healing is relatively small, and lifelong medication is necessary to prevent the condition from worsening.
