This is Tourette Syndrome, which requires timely treatment. If left untreated, it may persist into adulthood. If it continues into adulthood, it can have a significant impact on social interactions. Therefore, it's best to start treatment now. This condition can be treated with both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine. For example, dopamine-based medications are commonly used in Western medicine. However, the effectiveness of TCM varies from person to person—some may find relief with TCM, while others may respond better to Western medicine. In such cases, it may be necessary to try different approaches to see what works best.
