Toddler facial spasm

My toddler has started pulling her face up like she’s winking but without closing her eye. It seems to be involuntary and happens mostly when she’s talking. It is very frequent. Has anyone else’s little ones done this? Google has me worried!

I would go to the GP . I don't think it is a voluntary action , if you try to do it yourself it's impossible . It's maybe nothing to worry about but better to get it checked especially with her age . If she was an adult I'd say maybe Bells palsy but not sure if you can have it in childhood .

Most commonly a tic, but needs checking out just in case it's a form of focal fit.
