Tics involving eye blinking can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. This approach helps patients resolve psychological issues, reduce anxiety and depression, adapt to their current environment, and avoid various factors that may exacerbate tics. It is important to limit consumption of foods high in lead, and the diet should be light and easy to digest. Additionally, parents should not overly worry about the tics, blame themselves, or pay excessive attention to them, as this may increase the child's tension and impair their ability to control the tics.
