A Silly Question Until Covid-19!

A “Sternutation” is a sudden involuntary expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth due to irritation of the nasal passage.

A sneeze is not always related to an underlying medical condition. It may be caused by:

  • Nasal irritants (dust, pepper, pollen etc)
  • Sudden exposure to bright light
  • Breathing cold air
  • Object struck in nose.

Self-treatment helpful in some less- serious cases include:

  • Change the furnace or air conditioner filters
  • Do not have pets in the house if allergic to animal dander
  • Wash linens in very hot water (at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit) to kill dust mites
  • Vacuum and dust frequently
  • Use a good humidifier especially at night, if the air is too dry
  • Drink plenty of water if suffering from flu/common cold.

See a doctor if you notice the following :

  • Fever greater than 101.3 F (38.5 C)
  • Fever lasting five days or more or returning after a fever- free period
  • Shortness of breath
  • Wheezing
  • Severe sore throat, headache or sinus pain
  • Allergy does not resolves in a few days.

See a doctor immediately if you notice:

  • Sneezing is continuous
  • Causes severe ear pain, drowsiness.
