Would you call 111?

My son is 6. He's been getting tics on and off for a few months. They change in type and intensity. Today he's really bad. He cannot control them.
We spoke to the GP before who said it's likely fatigue as he has suspected sleep apnea due to enlarged adenoids.
However it's got so bad he's doing weird grunts and arm/ neck movements. He's also really irritable. The moods go hand in hand with how bad the tics are.
Would you call 111 for advice?
He's also got reduced growth.
I'm worried

If you think it relates to his enlarged adenoids then yes definitely call or take to a&e

Is anything else going on @Lcw29? For instance is there something coming up that he’s worried about?

If the GP isn’t being helpful you could try talking to the School Nurse Servoce tomorrow.
