Why shouldn't we suppress sneezing?

Sometimes, because we want to be polite or don't want to move people around, we find ways to suppress the need to sneeze.

The mechanism of sneezing is to remove bacteria and foreign particles from the nasal passages.

However, according to Dr. Erich Voigt, ear-throat specialist, director of New York University's Langone Hospital (USA) is a habit to avoid because it is not good for everyone's health .

Dr. Voigt explained, the mechanism of sneezing is to remove bacteria and foreign particles from the nasal passages, creating one of the most powerful reflexes of the human body.

So when you repress sneezing, you're pushing pressure back to your head and can in fact cause injury or injury to the eardrums.

In addition, sneezing also puts pressure behind your eyes . Some people worry that, in this case, their eyes may be protruding. But according to Dr. Voigt, that actually doesn't happen.

However, Mr. Voigt stressed that sneezing can completely destroy the eardrums , making you face the risk of hearing loss.
