Children experiencing recurrent tics generally need to consider two situations: one is tics caused by high fever seizures, or another is a deficiency in vitamins and trace elements, specifically calcium deficiency. Additionally, it could be due to epilepsy. It is necessary to conduct a thorough examination through an electroencephalogram (EEG) for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the exact cause for proper treatment.
