ravindras Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/health/suppressing-a-sneeze-can-be-dangerous-doctors-warn/article22450473.ece Suppressing a sneeze can be dangerous, doctors warn halting sneezing by blocking the nostrils and mouth should be avoided. Stifling a sneeze can rupture your throat, burst an ear drum, or pop a blood vessel in your brain, researchers warned Tuesday. Many people—when they feel a sneeze coming on—block all the exits, essentially swallowing the sneeze's explosive force. Just how dangerous this can be was illustrated when a 34-year-old man showed up at the emergency service of a hospital in Leicester, England recently, with a swollen neck and in extreme pain. "The patient described a popping sensation in his neck after he tried to halt a sneeze by pinching the nose and holding his mouth closed," doctors detailed in a study published in the medical journal BMJ Case Reports. A CAT scan confirmed what they suspected: the force of the suppressed sneeze had ruptured and torn open the back of the throat. The man—who could barely swallow or talk—was admitted to hospital, where he was tube-fed and given intravenous antibiotics until the swelling and pain subsided. He was discharged after a week. "Halting sneezing via blocking the nostrils and mouth is a dangerous manoeuvre, and should be avoided," the doctors concluded. In rare cases, stifling a sneeze has led to a condition in which air gets trapped between the lungs, "and even rupture of a cerebral aneurysm," which is a ballooning blood vessel in the brain, they explained.
