Question

The child has been making a humming sound for the past three days, and there’s also a sound when eating snacks. What’s going on? Sometimes when answering questions, the child’s shoulders shake, and their mood isn’t good either, always wanting to be comforted.

Answer

Based on the medical history you provided, these symptoms in your baby may be indicative of a tic disorder, but other neurological conditions should also be ruled out. It is recommended that you take your child to see a pediatrician. In daily life, it is advisable to reduce the consumption of snacks as they often contain many additives and flavorings that can easily lead to internal heat. It is suggested to encourage your child to drink more water, and if there is coughing with phlegm, then a pediatric clinic visit is recommended. The diet should be light and avoid excessive greasy, spicy foods.
