But keep falling back.</p><p>Soon, one of the two frogs started to believe the other frogs — that they’ll never be able to escape the pit and eventually died after giving up.</p><p>The other frog keeps trying and eventually jumps so high that he escapes the pit.

<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The nose is an essential part of our body. It filters the air you breathe, removing dust, germs, and irritants. It warms and moistens the air to keep your lungs and tubes that lead to them from drying out. Your nose also contains the nerve cells that help your sense of smell. When there is a problem with your nose, your whole body can suffer. For example, the stuffy nose of the common cold can make it hard for you to breathe, sleep, or get comfortable.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Let's be nosy and find out standard childhood nose related issues :</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Bacterial Nasal Infections</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - Minor infections at the opening of the nose, may result in pimples at the base of nasal hairs and sometimes crusts around the nostrils. The infection may result from nose picking or excessive nose blowing and causes annoying crusts and bleeding when the crusts slough off.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Broken Nose</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - A broken nose, also called a nasal fracture, is a break or crack in a bone in your nose — often the bone over the bridge of your nose. Common causes of a broken nose include contact sports, physical fights, falls, and motor vehicle accidents that result in facial trauma. A broken nose can cause pain, along with swelling and bruising around your nose and under your eyes. Your nose may look crooked, and you may have trouble breathing. Treatment for a broken nose may include procedures that realign your nose. Surgery usually isn't necessary for a broken nose.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Deviated Septum</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - The bone and cartilage that divides the inside of the nose in half is called the nasal septum. The most common symptom from a badly deviated septum is difficulty breathing through the nose, which is usually worse on one side. In some cases, it may cause sinus drainage or repeated sinus infections.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Nosebleeds</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - A nosebleed is blood loss from the tissue that lines your nose. The most common causes of nosebleeds are dryness (often caused by indoor heat in the winter) and nose picking. These two things work together — nose-picking occurs more often when mucus in the nose is dry and crusty. Colds also can cause nosebleeds.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Post-Nasal Drip</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - Post-nasal drip occurs when your nose and throat produce excess mucus, often causing you to feel it dripping down from your nose into your throat. Symptoms include Feeling of mucus drainage into the throat, Frequent swallowing, Throat clearing, Sore, irritated throat &amp; Feeling a lump in the throat.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Rhinitis (Hay Fever)</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> -&nbsp;Allergic rhinitis is the most common childhood ailment caused by allergies. Symptoms include a runny and itchy nose, sneezing, post-nasal drip and nasal congestion (blockage). A child with allergies may also have itchy, watery, red eyes and chronic ear problems.</span></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Runny Nose</strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - A stuffy or congested nose occurs when the tissues lining the nose become swollen. The swelling is due to inflamed blood vessels. The problem may also include nasal discharge or "runny nose." If excess mucus runs down the back of your throat, it may cause a cough or sore throat. A runny nose may be annoying and uncomfortable, but it usually clears up on its own. Occasionally, it can be a sign of a more severe problem. A runny nose may be severe in infants.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Prevention tips</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Although it may not be possible to prevent all nosebleeds in children, a person can take steps to help reduce their occurrence. These include:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Treating allergies to prevent inflammation in the nose</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Using saline (saltwater) nasal sprays to keep the child's nose moist</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Running a humidifier or vaporizer in the child's bedroom to prevent the air from drying out</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keeping children's nails trimmed to prevent injuries due to nose picking</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Encouraging children to wear appropriate protective equipment during sports or other activities where injury to the nose is possible</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Remember</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If your child has symptoms of any of the above nose related issues/infections, see your paediatrician. Your paediatrician can properly diagnose and treat the infection and recommend ways to help alleviate the discomfort from some of the symptoms.</span></p>
