What causes childhood Tourette syndrome?

Patient's question:

A friend of mine is always not mentally normal, sometimes clear-headed and sometimes crazy. Please ask what causes childhood Tourette syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

In the case of the baby, it is generally related to basal ganglia neurological dysfunction. The main approach involves joint care from family, school, and society to create a good living environment for the baby. Medication, primarily flupentixol, is typically started with low doses, while closely monitoring for side effects. In necessary cases, an additional medication like anaprox may be used to mitigate side effects. It is crucial to use medication under the guidance of a doctor and never stop abruptly to prevent relapse. Daily nutrition should be enhanced, physical exercise should be strengthened, and the baby's physical condition should be improved to prevent colds. Oral immune-boosting medications can also be taken.
