  1. Yes, the tics came back after he finished the antibiotic. My son is 13.
  2. Yes, this happened with my son (many years ago), but the tics came back. I always wondered if a longer course of abx may have ended them permanently. There is some evidence that certain bacterial infections can cause tics, e.g. Mycoplasma pneumonia (walking pneumonia) and borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease). I personally think it's worth exploring if you can find a doc willing to do the right testing. (Lyme testing is controversial.) Even so, don't get your hopes up that it will "cure" the tics. It didn't in my son's case, but I still felt better knowing we did what we could to treat underlying medical issues. My son's walking pneumonia caused almost no symptoms...only a very slight cough on occasion. We only had him tested for it because I found a case study that cited MP as the cause of tics. I was actually shocked when he came back positive. It also caused low cholesterol, which we also had no idea about until our doc decided to test that also. Good luck!
