A member asked:
Can tonic water with quinine be helpful in a twitch in an upper eyelid for over 2 weeks ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Tonic water is unlikely to help with the symptoms. If it persists you may consider getting a botox injection. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
