What Causes Constant Eye Blinking,jerking And Hiccups In Children?

my son has on and off tics that are eye blinking, jerking, and now its a constant hiccup tic. he has seen a neurologists that states that it is something he will eventually grow out of. I never experienced anything like this and I have no one in my family like this as well. This has been a nightmare because I don t understand how he can go a couple days and be fine and then it comes right back.

Hello,

As you explain the situation, I also suggest you don't be stressed such. It happens in children often to have ticks and it's not the exact mechanism known yet unfortunately. It will disappear soon for sure.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
