Speaking as someone with a current viral respiratory infection of some kind that was just prescribed Benzonatate and Albuterol, there needs to be a much more effective treatment for a bad dry cough. It’s pure misery.

The sneeze neurons of some people are also activated when: eating peppermint, eating dark chocolate, and looking into bright light.

Has there been any studies on whether it’s better to hold in sneezes (partially or fully) or let them fully out? I prefer letting it all out and it’s kind of messy but probably healthier. My wife kind of keeps half of it in.

Once I coughed, sneezed, and farted at the same time. Very painful.

Not sure if related, but I found that pinching my nose often aborts an incoming sneeze.

I can sometimes convert a cough to sneeze by blowing it out of nose instead.
