Suggest Treatment For My Kids Speech Problem

Hi I have a 3 1/2 yr old son who has developed this almost tic like feature , he sticks out his tongue and his neck goes up , it happens all day everyday probably 50-60 times a day . I have watched him and he doesnt realize he is even doing this. He has recently started speech therapy , which i thought possibly contributed to this behavior , but has not subsided . Should I be concerned ? I have mentioned this to the ped but there are saying its probably from the speech therapy but im not agreeing with this

Hello,

If he is not receiving any drug, then it should be evaluated by a neurologist. Please make a short video of the abnormal video and then show to the doctor. I do not think it is due to speech therapy.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
