Question
My child, who is seven years old, has been frequently blinking his eyes involuntarily for the past month. The doctor diagnosed it as conjunctivitis.
Answer
Tic disorders tend to be more pronounced during emotional tension or anxiety, so it’s important to maintain a cheerful mood. Treatment usually includes psychiatric medications and traditional Chinese medicine. It is suggested to undergo traditional Chinese medicine treatment under a doctor’s guidance and to avoid using Western medicine with significant side effects as much as possible. At the same time, parents should pay attention to their child’s condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
