Can blowing your nose too hard cause damage?!
Question:
Can blowing your nose too hard cause damage?
My son always blows his nose really hard, can it damage his nose?
He has always suffered from nose bleeds too.
Thanks
Answers:
yep, i used to do it all the time, it can damage blood vessels and cause nosebleeds, and there was that story a few years ago (i think it was true) about that australian doctor who blew his nose too hard and died when he blew part of the frontal lobe of his brain out...eww, try telling that to your son.
but, i think he had a very thin membrane in his skull or something, and he blew it really hard.
