Question
Can children’s tics be treated with Vitamin B6?
Answer
Currently, the primary treatments for children’s tics include psychiatric medications and traditional Chinese medicine. While psychiatric medications can temporarily control symptoms, they have significant side effects, such as reduced appetite, insomnia, headaches, abdominal pain, and may lead to drug dependence if used long-term, affecting the child’s normal development, causing growth delays, memory impairments, personality changes, and mental syndromes. On the other hand, although traditional Chinese medicine is relatively safe, its efficacy is still uncertain, and it is mainly used as a supplement, which may lead to premature development in children. Therefore, for many years, people have been searching for a safe and effective treatment method.
