Question
My son was diagnosed with tic disorder at the hospital, which was about 4.5 days ago. The symptoms have progressed from blinking and bottom-sucking to forceful limb tics, even causing him to fall due to the tics. He has several attacks a day, and it seems like there’s something in his nose that he can’t wake up from, and what comes out is foam. His throat feels like it has phlegm and he keeps coughing. I’m not sure if this is really tic disorder, and if it is, where can he be treated effectively? I hope experts can tell me, thank you.
Answer
This kind of condition in children is often caused by excessive coldness in the body, related to excessive use of antibiotics and intravenous fluids. The most obvious sign of body coldness is the bluish color between the two eyes on the bridge of the nose. Eating is also not good. It is recommended that you use traditional Chinese medicine for opsonize. In clinical practice, we often see such children who frequently blink, and after taking a few doses of medicine, they get better. Common formulas include Wumei Soup (modified Wumei Pills formula), and it is recommended that you find a good Chinese medicine doctor for treatment.
