Many habits of babies need to be developed under the guidance of their mothers, and some bad habits need to be corrected in a timely manner. During early childhood, many babies like to rub their noses and use their hands to do so easily. Many attentive parents have noticed that they are worried and worried about their baby's nose discomfort. Below, we will learn in detail about how children rub their noses.
What's wrong with a toddler rubbing their nose
1. Nose discomfort, such as the baby feeling something in their nose, such as mucus, can cause discomfort. In this case, parents can use a cotton swab dipped in water to play with their baby, and cleaning it up will make them feel much more comfortable.
2. Spring allergy, if it is in spring, babies are easily allergic. For example, when inhaling some foreign objects such as willow catkins, they will feel itchy, which will cause babies to rub their noses.
3. There are foreign objects in the nasal cavity. For some older babies, sometimes they may not pay attention to stuffing some small things into the nasal cavity, which can also cause discomfort. They will involuntarily rub their nose, hoping to get it out.
4. Nasal blockage can easily lead to stuffiness and lack of ventilation when a baby has a cold. At this time, the baby will feel particularly uncomfortable, and since they are young, they will not blow their nose like adults do. They can only keep kneading their nose to alleviate discomfort.
What is the difference between allergic rhinitis and rubbing the nose for a common cold
1. Sneezing. Sneezing during a cold is usually brief, while allergic rhinitis is a persistent itching and discomfort in the nose that can lead to continuous sneezing.
2. Itchy nose. Similarly, the itching of the nose caused by a cold is mostly due to the feeling of lack of ventilation inside, while the itching of the nose in allergic rhinitis is persistent and sometimes difficult to tolerate, and will not disappear for a long time.
3. Snot. A cold can cause runny nose, but the basic amount is not large. Wiping it off with a tissue will make it better, while runny nose caused by allergic rhinitis often comes back immediately after wiping it off.
Sneezing, itching in the nose, and rubbing the nose with hands are normal occurrences for children. It is possible that the baby's nose is not very comfortable, and rubbing the nose with hands can relieve discomfort. However, if a child always rubs their nose, it should be taken seriously as it may be an allergy. After all, some allergic reactions have different reactions. I hope the above introduction can be helpful to you.
