A member asked:

My 6 & half year old son makes constantly annoying mouth noise, what can that be? after so many reminders it is still on. need help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a pediatrician: One who makes repeated noises, or rolls his eyes or twitches his face, may have tics, which are exaggerated habits. Of course, he might have allergies or throat irritation that "encourage" tics to continue because irritation makes him sense there is some throat discomfort. Some doctors check for strep throat when a child has new tics with throat, allergy or cold symptoms. "Reminders" worsen tics.
