It primarily manifests as involuntary, repetitive, and rapid movements and sounds of one or more muscles, accompanied by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, obsessive thoughts, and other behavioral issues. The treatment of tic disorder mainly includes medication and psychological therapy. It is best to take the child to a regular hospital for a detailed examination to see what the doctor suggests for treatment.
