Hi. I did some further googling on the internet about touching one's nose with the hand.

It's a neurological test. If your daughter absolutely can't do this, (and this is what you indicated, right??), I would just do a follow up (like Snoopy suggested). It could just be that her balance is off (perhaps due to mild inner ear infection), You'd be surprised how important the workings of the inner ear can manage the balance that our bodies need.

Don't go nuts. If she's as active at sports and does cheerleeding, and is super-coordinated, I think you'd see other symptoms (I mean if there WERE something BAD going on).

So to set your mind at rest (and believe me, you will want to do this), just do a follow-up.

They'll check her out and you'll get to the bottom of why she can't touch her nose with her finger. And she might just be able to do this later on.

Are there any members of your family with auto-immune stuff going on?? Aunts uncles, grandparents....??
