Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my son has been blinking and squinting frequently, and sometimes he also nods unconsciously. I told him not to keep nodding, but he said he can't control it. Relatives mentioned that this could be a sign of Tourette syndrome. I'd like to ask, how is Tourette syndrome treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In this situation, it is more likely to consider the possibility of Tourette syndrome first. This condition is primarily a psychological and mental illness, so in this case, it is mainly necessary to adjust the baby's full attention and divert their focus through appropriate cultivation of their interests and hobbies. It should gradually stabilize. If this condition is carefully examined, there are generally no positive test results.
