Why does my child keep blinking recently?

Some children have abnormal behaviors in their daily lives, so parents need to pay attention to this problem. It is very likely that there is something wrong with the child's body that causes such symptoms, especially some children who keep blinking their eyes. This is very likely caused by convulsions. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to timely diagnosis of this problem. So why do children keep blinking recently?

In daily life, tics are a neuropsychiatric disorder, and children with tics often cannot control their vocalizations and movements. These symptoms of tics make parents panic. For more information about the symptoms of tics, please see the following introduction.

The main manifestations of tics are: some children suddenly have involuntary blinking, squinting, sniffing, grinning, etc. These symptoms are sometimes better and sometimes worse, appearing alternately. Sometimes they disappear for a while, but then they start to twist their necks, nod, shrug their shoulders, or even puff their stomachs. Some make sounds in the throat, such as "humming" or "small guttural sounds", or even shouting loudly. Parents don't know what's going on, and some think it's a bad habit. They criticize the child harshly or even beat or scold him, but the more they stop, the more frequent the behavior becomes, or when one symptom disappears, another one will appear. We call this symptom a tic, and involuntary blinking is a common manifestation of a tic.

It usually occurs in childhood and is more common in boys than in girls. At the beginning, the symptoms of tics are mild and transient, but then gradually become more severe, not only the frequency increases but also multiple parts are affected, such as shrugging shoulders, twisted neck, shaking limbs, throat sounds, etc. There are repetitive tics in a single part, and there are complex tics in multiple parts. They appear and disappear, and are sometimes severe and sometimes mild. They are more obvious when encountering unpleasant events, excessive mental stress or heavy study burden.

If a child blinks frequently, it may not necessarily be caused by convulsions. It may also be caused by discomfort in the child's eyes. Therefore, if the above symptoms appear, do not blindly seek treatment. Pay attention to timely treatment to ensure the child's health and avoid danger to the child's body due to convulsions.
