Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Neck twitching is not a symptom of migraine in children. However tics do develop in children and neck twitching is one of them. At this moment it looks like a Tic. Tics in children usually require no treatment and go away on their own.
Other symptoms of colors in the field of vision, stomach ache are a symptom of childhood migraine.
Hope this helps!
Yes, that does help. Thank you. I guess it's a little confusing b/c the symptoms of migraine and twitching crept up almost simultaneously.
Is it possible that the "Tic" or twitching can be related to an allergic reaction to something in the environment? The twiching only seems to show prevalence in the evenings and when he's been in his room (which was just remodeled 2 weeks ago) for a long period of time. He says his right ear and neck "itch" (the side where the neck gravitates towards in the Tic).
Thanks again.
Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
Tics are rapid movements or sounds that are repeated over for no rhyme or reason. They usually occur when a person is tired, stressed or depressed. They have also been found associated with allergies both food and environmental and medicines. It is possible that in your son’s case that his tics are related to environmental allergies.
Try changing his room if possible for few days and see if it helps.
