What Causes Compulsive Forceful Nose Blowing?
My son constantly clears blows his nose, makes consecutive noises with his throat until the sounds are alike. Closes and opens cupboards. He is seeing a psychologist but she hasn t helped yet. She thinks he may have OCD or stereotypical behavior. I don t know how to help him.

Hello,
First, should rule out any drug abuse. Take some tests.
Then, check his nose for possible blockage by ENT specialist.
Then, if nothing organic and no drug abuse, should see psychiatrist.
All the best.
