1, typical symptoms. Tourette syndrome in children can be divided into motor TIC and vocal TIC. Exercise twitch is very common at the first onset, which is often manifested as twitching of eyes, mouth, nose, whole face and head, such as blinking, grinning, hunched nose and involuntary shaking of the head.
If the patient is not intervened, the patient's condition will gradually develop into generalized convulsions. The main clinical manifestation of vocal cord twitch is that patients often make various sounds, such as clicking, ah, ha, oh and other monotonous and short sounds, or coughing, humming, barking, clearing throat and smelling.
2. Late complications. Children with Tourette's syndrome will be accompanied by some complications in the later stage, which can be roughly divided into four categories, namely obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sleep disorder and emotional disorder.
Among them, obsessive-compulsive disorder is a common mental illness, which is mainly manifested in the word compulsion, that is, it will repeatedly ask others to do something. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a problem that patients can't concentrate on something in a short time. Sleep disorders are manifested as insomnia or lethargy, and it may be difficult to fall asleep or drowsy during the day, and sometimes you may suddenly wake up or have nightmares when you sleep. The final emotional disorder is reflected in the ups and downs of patients' emotions.
There are many inducing factors for Tourette syndrome in children. Therefore, parents need to be vigilant. If children have unconscious blinking, crooked mouth, throat clearing and other complications, such as compulsion and difficulty in concentration, they need to help their children adjust through formal channels.
