Question

What are the symptoms of pediatric tic disorders? I suspect my child might have this condition. How should it be treated? Do I need to hospitalize the child? How long does recovery usually take? What precautions should be taken in daily life?

Answer

The symptoms of childhood tic disorders include blinking, shrugging shoulders, throat clearing, squinting, puckering lips, head shaking, shoulder and neck contractions, extending arms, flinging arms, lifting chest, bending over, and spinning. Treatment methods include psychological therapy, medication treatment, and psychological counseling. It is recommended to encourage the child more often, pay attention to diet, and treatment is very important; children should not be overly blamed.
