Question
What are the symptoms of Tourette syndrome in children?
Answer
The neurological symptoms of Tourette syndrome in children primarily manifest as blinking of the eyes, twitching of the mouth, increased facial expression muscles, and involuntary muscle movements, sometimes accompanied by obscene behavior, known as Tourette’s Disorder with Coprolalia. The treatment for Tourette syndrome in children can be divided into psychological therapy and medication. Medications may include oral fluphenazine and sedatives. Psychologically, we should take good care of the child and help them relax. Giving children a variety of fruits and vegetables is also beneficial.
