Suggest Treatment For Twitching Of Eyes And Shaky Head

Hi, my son is 9 months old and he sometimes twitches his eyes closed tight and shakes his head a few seconds after we feed him. He has been doing this with bland food as well, and never used to. Also, he got blood work done by his pediatrician and he has a lead level of a 4. I was wondering if the 2 could be related? Or if it could be something serious?

Hi,

I feel that it could be - tic disorder or habit disorder or repetitive motor disorder. I suggest you discuss these possibilities with his pediatrician please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
