Trastorno de tic transitorio - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Tics transitorios

Tratamiento:

Los médicos recomiendan a la familia no llamar la atención sobre los tics al principio, debido a que una atención indeseada puede hacer que el tic empeore. Si los tics son tan severos que causan problemas en el desempeño escolar o laboral, las técnicas conductuales y los medicamentos pueden ayudar.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

Los tics simples de la niñez generalmente desaparecen en unos meses.

Complicaciones:

Por lo general no existen complicaciones. Se puede desarrollar trastorno de tic motor o vocal crónico.

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Consulte con el médico si está preocupado con respecto a un trastorno de tic transitorio, en especial si éste continúa o interfiere con la vida de su hijo. También llame al médico de inmediato si no está seguro de que los movimientos sean o no un tic o una convulsión.
