A member asked:
What should i do if i am worried about my 8 year old son's head jerking and twitching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'd check with the: General pediatrician first, but escalate to a pediatric neurologist before imaging. He needs a thorough exam to make sure these are not something to worry about.
