Patient's question:
Now the child is only in kindergarten, and the child's health has always been very good. Recently, I have noticed that the child occasionally has a recurrence of body twitching. It's hard to keep the body calm, and it's not under control. I feel it might be a tic disorder. How to treat tic disorders in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of childhood Tourette syndrome includes comprehensive evaluation measures such as etiological treatment, psychological therapy, and medication. If there is a clear etiology, treatment should target the cause while using drugs like haloperidol, pemoline, clonidine, and clonazepam for symptomatic relief. Psychological therapy should also be integrated, including behavioral therapy, family comprehensive evaluation treatment, and supportive psychological counseling. In particular, schools and parents must understand the condition and actively participate in the treatment process. Treatment should be conducted under the guidance of professional physicians.
