Itching in a child’s nose may stem from two primary causes. First, it could be related to environmental factors—excessively dry living conditions can lead to nasal mucosal dryness, resulting in nasal itching and other symptoms. This scenario is commonly observed during autumn and winter. Second, it may be associated with allergic rhinitis or chronic rhinitis. Repeated inflammatory stimulation of the nasal mucosa can also cause nasal itching and other discomforts.
