Question
What are the causes of pediatric tic disorders?
Answer
There are many reasons for infantile twitching. It could be due to discomfort in certain areas, leading to protective or habitual movements that become fixed. It may also be because the cerebral cortex has formed an inert excitatory focus, which can repeatedly trigger twitching movements. In addition, mimicking similar behaviors of others, psychological stimulation, and bodily diseases may also lead to tics. Parents should take their children to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatment.
