We just found out my 8 years old son has tic disorder too about 1 week ago. He always clearing his throat since he's like 6-7. We didn't know this might be 1 of the vocal tics then. We told him not to shake and nod his head back and forth few days ago. It made it worse. Now he's shake/nod his head quit often through out the day, especially when he's doing his homework. I am new to this tic disorder. I have called my son's doctor, she said it's fine without even ask him to come in to take a look. I am worry that his tics will get worse day by day. I have no idea what caused his tics. He had 2 seizures due to high fever when he was like 1 and 2 years old. He has allergy and we have given him Claritin for the past 3 years or so. He hasn't take any for the past few weeks. And we plan to stop using it due to the tic problem. Right now we plan to give him more magnesium rich food and try to give him less stress on everything that we can. I am not sure what else we can do now. Pls help. Should I force my doctor to let him goto the doctor office to have her to take a look or possibly refer him to a neurologist? compy
