Question
At six months old, can a baby play with toys and pick up things by themselves? If a baby shows symptoms of tic disorder, should one consult pediatric surgery or pediatric internal medicine? What could be the possible causes of baby twitching?
Answer
Tic disorder is a syndrome characterized by multiple, involuntary twitches and language or behavioral disorders. In traditional Chinese medicine, tic disorder is classified as internal wind due to liver dysfunction, and it is believed that swallowing powder made from antelope horn has certain therapeutic effects. Additionally, the development of six-month-old babies varies from individual to individual. If parents are concerned about their child’s development, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up.
