Involuntary movements/tics in toddler??

[SoFuckingTired]

Apologies, as this should probably be in children's health but chat is much busier.

My youngest dc, who is coming upto 2 years old, has been having what I would describe as tics for the past few weeks. They bend one arm towards their head whilst flinging the other out, turn head to side, open mouth and do a prolonged blink. I thought it was a bit odd but then toddlers are odd, aren't they? It definitely seems to be getting more frequent and obvious, so I googled it tonight but apparently tics can start from age 3. As I said, dc is not even 2 yet, so if it isn't tics then what is it? Should I be concerned?

Hopeful bump

I would see a GP if I were you

Are you aware of the relationship between auto immune disease and tics? It's worth reading about. A friend who is a naturopath cured a child i know.

See your GP

Has he had a sore throat recently? Might be worth looking at PANDAS.

Two of mine suffer from tics, eldest diagnosed with Tourette's and it started about 6 years old with him and 4 with my youngest.

I wouldn't be going down the tics line at this point, I would be seeing the GP.

It might be a partial seizure. I appreciate it might be difficult, but next time it happens try to video it and go see your gp.

Thanks all. Videoed it, went to the GP, sent to hospital. Waiting for appointments for EEG now
