Doctor Warns: Suppressing Sneezes Risks Health
The article presents a warning from Dr. Anna Juykova, an ENT specialist, about the dangers of suppressing sneezes. She explained that attempting to stop a sneeze by closing the nose and mouth can lead to a sharp increase in pressure within the respiratory passages, which can cause congestion, pain, temporary hearing loss, tinnitus, and bleeding or redness in the nose. In rare cases, this practice may result in serious complications such as eardrum rupture, damage to the pharyngeal tissues, air leakage into the soft tissues, or lung injuries. She advised against holding in sneezes and recommended using tissues or sneezing into the crook of the elbow, especially for patients with chronic conditions. She also emphasized the importance of consulting a doctor if severe symptoms such as ear pain or nosebleeds occur.
