Advice
Looking for advice to best help my 5 year old. He started with tics 3 months ago. It started with a coughing tic that was severe for 6 weeks then we had 6 weeks where it was so much better like 90% gone. Now as of a week ago we are in another flair. But now it’s a facial grimace and eye blinking/widening and eyes to the side. It’s very extreme every few seconds all day I wish that was an exaggeration but it’s not. He was just watching a screen and it was every second. I don’t know how it’s not irritating the heck out of him or not causing headaches bc it’s intense. Does he really not know it’s happening so it’s not bothering him? I feel like it has to be bothering him bc he’s rubbing his eyes and like holding his face sometimes like he’s trying not to do it. I was told by the neurologist to not bring it up to him. The other day I couldn’t help myself and asked about it and he did say his mouth hurt. If I didn’t already confirm it was tic it honestly looks like he’s having a seizure with what he does with his eyes.
