Question
For the past two months, my child has been experiencing facial twitches, including blinking and mouth twitching. What could this be?
Answer
This condition could be caused by trigeminal neuralgia. It is recommended to undergo regional massage, heat therapy, injection treatment, acupuncture, and oral Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid spicy, alcoholic, cold, and other irritating foods. It is important to note that if pediatric neurology diseases are not treated promptly or correctly, the condition may worsen rapidly, causing serious impact on the child. Therefore, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
