Why does my child keep sniffing his nose when he doesn't have any snot?

Many mothers have made this discovery: they clearly see that their babies do not have a runny nose, but they are unconsciously having a runny nose, which makes people wonder why this symptom occurs. Experts say that babies with rhinitis or tics will often sniff their noses even though they have no snot. In this case, you should tell your baby not to pick his nose often, as the nasal cavity is very fragile and blood vessels are very likely to rupture. Pay attention to the indoor humidity and it is best to put a humidifier in the room. Give your baby more water and try to drink less beverages to avoid symptoms of getting angry. Clean the secretions in your baby's nose in time, otherwise it is easy to get a stuffy nose.

1. The reason why children have no snot but always sniff their nose

Rhinitis and colds can make children feel uncomfortable in their noses. Adults may rub their noses, but children are used to sucking their noses, so they develop the habit of sucking their noses and use suction to relieve the discomfort in their noses.

2. Tics

Tourette syndrome is a disease that is common in school-age children. In addition to involuntary tics, it is also accompanied by some language or behavioral disorders. If you find that your child has some abnormalities in language and behavior in addition to sniffing his nose for no apparent reason, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for examination and cooperate with treatment under the advice of a pediatrician.

4. Clear nasal secretions

If the secretions are very hard, you can use a cotton swab dipped in some oil to moisturize the nasal cavity, spray some saline into the nasal cavity, and gently wipe them out after the secretions soften. Remember not to use too much force, be gentle and gentle.
