Shes been doing this facial movement for a couple months about, not sure exactly, and I'm getting a little nervous. It's hard for me to look at her doing it. I actually asked her about it and she said her nose is bothering her. Is it normal to develop a tic because of a slightly runny nose?
Actually before this one she was doing something else, a throat clearing noise.
I guess it could be that her throat was hurting then and her nose is bothering her now, but honestly I'm afraid and worried that it is interfering in school with friends...
I'm going to take her for a well visit but can anyone share any experiences with anything like this?

Allergies. DD had a funny twitch of her neck and she scrunched up her nose every few seconds. She told us it helps scratch the itch inside her throat and nose. Once she started Claritin it disappeared.
