Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Is it appropriate for a child with tics to go to the pediatric neurology department for examination?Doctor's answer:
If a child experiences convulsions without a clear cause, this is commonly seen in neurological diseases. A comprehensive and thorough neurological examination is necessary. For example, it could be related to conditions like ADHD or epilepsy. Through examinations such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), initial screening can be conducted. After diagnosis, early intervention and treatment are required. If it worsens, it may lead to generalized muscle spasms or increased muscle tone, affecting normal life. In severe cases, it may even endanger life.
