As the title says ds who is 11 has a tic.
It's been going in a few months now, when he first was doing it I didn't realise it was a tic & would ask him to stop, which obviously now I know he can't.
It is a clearing the throat and a sort of cluck he also twitches & blinks his eyes a lot.
He has said when he tried not to do it it makes home feel "ill" his words and he gets a dry throat.
It is defiantly affecting him more at school & he is very aware of it now, he hates assembly cause he said he can't stop doing it and it can be quiet in assembly.
Is it time to go to the doctors? Is there anything we can do to help?
I know nothing about tics apart from bits I have googled.
