Question
A child cannot control coughing and making strange sounds in class, affecting classmates’ listening. Has not received any treatment yet. Hope to get treatment advice.
Answer
Tic disorders in children are characterized by rapid, repetitive, single or complex muscle contractions. Most affected children cannot heal themselves, and only a few can alleviate symptoms during adolescence. Children with mild symptoms usually do not require medication but need active interventions, such as adjusting environmental factors and eliminating negative psychological factors. If a child experiences tics, medication should be taken according to medical advice, and parental supervision is also part of the treatment. It is recommended to remain calm, actively cooperate with the doctor, and ensure the child has enough rest.
