How do you sneeze properly?!


Question: How do you sneeze properly!?
Ever since i was a child, i've always sneezed by pinching my nose close, which causes my ears to pop!. I never really thought about it until one of my friends brought up the topic that i'm damaging my ear drums every time i do this!.

I tried sneezing without pinching my nose, but i just seem to shoot out spit from my mouth!. So, how does an average person sneeze without a tissue!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
My son's teacher taught him to sneeze into his arm at the fold of the elbow!. They suggest this way of sneezing so as not to spread germs to others around you!. I have been doing it that way lately and it does work better than placing my hand over my face!. This also keeps your hands germ free so that if you shake someones hand or touch something you will not pass a cold or virus onto them!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can see the logic in the fact that holding your nose like that can damage your ears, I am no medical expert though!. I have also heard in the past that you should never turn your head to the side and sneeze as it can cause a slipped disc in your spine!. Whether this is true to this extreme or not, I dont know!. I do know that I have had some pain in the back from doing just this though!.

I personally would just allow the sneeze to occur and enjoy the pleasure of it as I do!. Its so annoying when a progressing sneeze suddenly fades away bah!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
