sick of sniffing all the time?!

That's great that you've taken your son to get tested for allergies and other bloodwork. I'm not sure if you'd gone to an actual Allergist or Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist (dr). If you haven't taken him to an ENT, perhaps they will send him for a (painless) CT (computerized tomography) scan of his nose and sinuses.

If the doctor(s) have ruled out other causes of your son's constant nose sniffing, and I'm just an everday person, I wonder if he has a kind of a "tic" which can include nose sniffing.

On a slightly different note, please talk with your son and other children about the dangers of huffing (fumes or chemical vapors) which may not "only" result in death but also brain trauma. My friend actually has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from inhalant use at the age of 12, now in her 30s. Other risks of huffing include sight loss/blindness, heart/liver/kidney damage, seizures, limb spasms, hearing loss and even death, all of which can happen after the very FIRST time of use.
