Patient's question:
My child has been experiencing tics since last night and is planning to see a doctor. Which department should one go to for tics?Doctor's answer:
Tics syndrome generally requires consultation with a neurology department. Diagnosis is confirmed through clinical observation of tic characteristics combined with thorough examinations. Currently, the causes of tics in patients may include tics syndrome, epilepsy, essential tremor, or tetany caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to conduct brain CT, EEG, trace element tests, and blood tests to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the identified cause.
