Withdrawal of the drug, however, may not stop the tic once it has been initiated. Signs And Tests Physical causes of transient tic disorder should be considered before a diagnosis for this disorder is made. Treatment Clinicians recommend the family pay no attention to the tics at first, since unwanted attention may make the tics worse. If tics are severe enough to cause problems in school or occupational functioning, then behavioral techniques are recommended. Simple childhood tics can be expected to disappear spontaneously over a period of months.
Complications There are usually no complications.
A chronic motor or vocal tic disorder can develop. There is usually no need to see the health care provider for a transient tic disorder unless it becomes persistent or disruptive to the child's life. There is no prevention for this condition.
