What methods are there to treat childhood Tourette syndrome?

Patient's question:

Recently, the child has suddenly started blinking eyes, shrugging shoulders, and grimacing corners of the mouth for no reason. At first, the parents thought the child might have caught a cold, allergies, or some illness that made him uncomfortable, so they didn't pay much attention. But unexpectedly, the frequency of the child blinking eyes, shrugging shoulders, and grimacing corners of the mouth increased over the following week.

Doctor's answer:

Tics in children are medically considered to be developmental abnormalities of brain neurotransmitters, and they generally do not resolve on their own. There are many causes of tics, and they are related to the environment, diet, family, and more. It is recommended that you seek timely treatment for your child.
