Disease description:

My baby has been blinking frequently lately, and his body often exhibits involuntary twitching. Additionally, there is a chewing-like movement around the mouth—this seems very much like tic disorder. At what age does tic disorder typically onset, and at what age does it usually resolve?

Hello, there is no specific age limit for when this condition may onset or resolve. Generally, children may develop this condition at a young age. In some cases, the condition can be quite severe, and treatment options may be limited. Therefore, early intervention is crucial. Symptomatic treatment initiated in the early stages can often lead to improvement and better control of the condition. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
