Question
Children with rhinitis often exhibit behaviors such as squinting, rubbing their nose, and fidgeting. Are these symptoms directly related to rhinitis?
Answer
In many cases, parents and doctors may simply attribute the symptoms of ADHD and tic disorders to mental illness. However, the abnormal behaviors such as blinking, nose rubbing, and throat clearing exhibited by children are actually closely related to nasal allergies. According to clinical experience, when a child’s allergic rhinitis is controlled, their tics and hyperactivity symptoms often diminish.
