The child always sniffs his nose

The child's every move is always watched by his family, and every action will arouse the family's surprise and curiosity. Sometimes we find that children always like to sniff their noses. Many parents may think that this is a new action learned by the child, or that the child is just playing. Generally, they don’t pay too much attention to it, nor do they think that there is something wrong with the child. In fact, if a child always sniffs his nose, it is very likely that he suffers from Tourette syndrome. If this symptom occurs, parents must pay attention to it. Let’s understand why children always sniff their noses.

Why does the child always sniffle?

1. This child may have allergic rhinitis. It is recommended that he go to the ENT department of the hospital to check whether the child has rhinitis.

2. It may be a habit for a child to always sniff his nose, so you should teach him to hold it in when he wants to, and it will get better. It could also be rhinitis. After excluding the above factors, we should be alert to the factors of tics. Sniffling is also a common symptom of tics. Of course there will be other associated symptoms.

3. If your child always sniffs his nose, it may be because there is secretion in the nasal cavity, or it may be due to tics. It is recommended that parents check the nasal cavity. If there is secretion, it is recommended to clean it and do an EEG.

4. It is very likely a symptom of chronic rhinitis in children. It is recommended that you take your child to the ENT department to have a careful examination by the doctor to see if the diagnosis of rhinitis is met.

5. It is possible that the respiratory system problem is caused by the child catching a cold. If it is caused by wind and cold, it should be adjusted in time and there is no need to worry too much.

Guidance:

1. If it is confirmed that it is pediatric rhinitis, then it is recommended that you use Nasonex nasal spray + oral Oral Olonma drops for your child's treatment. The course of treatment generally takes 1-3 months.

2. It is also possible that someone around the child has learned this action. If this is the case, you need to slowly help the child change this habit and give praise and encouragement when the child performs well. Watch carefully, best wishes!

3. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a nasoscopy as soon as possible. If confirmed, medication can be started as soon as possible. Pay attention to the diet, drink more water, eat more vegetables, fruits, lean meat, eggs, milk, etc., avoid eating spicy, greasy, raw, cold and irritating foods, keep a regular schedule and participate in more physical exercise to improve the body's immunity and prevent colds.

4. It is recommended to wear a mask when going out in autumn and winter or during the cold epidemic, avoid public gatherings, go to public places as little as possible, maintain the humidity of indoor air, or use air filters, do not let your nose get too dry, and drink more water

5. It is recommended that you take a sinus film for your child to check first. If the child is suffering from sinusitis, it is better to give the child a period of children's rhinitis granules and amoxicillin capsules for treatment. In this way, the child's symptoms of sniffing the nose will improve.

There are 4 points to note when caring for patients with tics:

1. Parents should also help their children eliminate tension and fear. We should create a good living environment for children and let them live in an atmosphere of calm and confidence. No matter how irritating his actions are, don't pay attention to his appearance, don't imitate him, or make fun of him. This is also one of the care methods for patients with Tourette syndrome.

2. For a very small number of stubborn patients, parents should help them to control their tic behaviors. Parents can use positive reinforcement methods. As long as the child's tic behavior is slightly alleviated, they should give appropriate praise or encouragement. This will strengthen the child's awareness and gradually eliminate the tic behavior.

3. When parents or teachers encounter this kind of situation, they must not blame the child, because the more they blame and force the child, the more nervous he will feel, and his involuntary movements will become more frequent, and the child will gradually become timid and inferior.

4. Parents should encourage and guide their children to participate in various games and activities of interest to divert their attention. In addition, we should help children build self-confidence and participate in appropriate sports activities. Sports activities can help children get rid of their closed state, cheer up and relax completely.
