My son got the referral to the neurologist and luckily it was nothing major in his brain that was causing his tics. They then put it down to anxiety and development. He started seeing a psychologist to help him manage and control his tics. This helped massively. They said its called 'neurological tic disorder' and it is potentially something he will grow out of. I was so worried it would become full blown tourette's. He's 9 now and does some tics still but mild ones that are barely noticable. He did stop completely for while...I still don't fully understand it in all honesty but either way your daughter needs to be seen by a professional. Do not accept your gp sending you away. Hope I have helped somewhat xx
My daughter went about her anxiety and was given websites to look through to learn how to manage it but she was older by then. Another thing which helps a lot is magnesium supplements as that is a muscle relaxant. As your child is still only 6 she might be too young for that but if I were you I'd bring that up at the Drs if you decide to go again and see what they say about it, if not now then when she is older, perhaps.
To your main concern, for my daughter it didn't get worse and she doesn't have Tourettes.
