Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
Is your child having itching near his nose and picks his nose? If so he may be suffering from allergic rhinitis which is causing all the symptoms. You can try simple anti allergic medication like Levocetrizine or monteleukast for a few weeks after consulting your paediatrician. If they are showing no response your can also try intranasal steroid puffs.
Hope this has helped you.
Your vote of thanks is appreciated,
Good luck,
