Question
The child has been experiencing involuntary twitching laughter since a few months after birth, and the symptoms became more pronounced at the age of 2. Now 8 years old, the symptoms have been a bit more frequent lately. Should I be concerned?

Tourette syndrome is a disorder that typically begins in childhood or adolescence, characterized by involuntary and repetitive motor or vocal tics. It usually does not resolve on its own and requires professional medical intervention for management.
