7 years old boy has TS, Mom is heart broken

[lele]

Update my son's TS

 

his TS flared up after waning for 2 weeks. He starts a very bad vocal tis as throat clearing, non stop, very loudly throat clearing , not the soft one as before. I noticed he has a bag of pop corn and some home made butter cookie which was not in his regular diet before, nothing else can ring a bell on me. If any one has any idea to reduce this bad vocal tics please let me know. It is so niosy in the class, I can't imagine how can he face this in school.

hi Lele

 

I dont remember if you have already tried the L-carnitine that many have found helpful for vocal tics

Chemar, thanks a lot for helping me, once we have problem we know where to find solution.

 

L-carnitine is the last thing I want to try on him, could you please tell me what brand and what dosage I can give it to my 8 years old, 66 lbs boy?

 

Thanks a gain.

we used the NOW brand of L-carnitine at 500 mg daily but my son was 12yo and adult weight then

 

usually it is recommended to give half the adult dose of any supplement to a child under 12 and over 6
