Sneezing is a natural mechanism of the body. Many places also see it as unintentional behavior that makes people uncomfortable, especially when the person sneezing is not available. However, many people want to stop sneezing for a variety of reasons, including a Guinnes holder sneezing for 977 days with more than a million sneezes.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Prevent incoming sneezing attacks
Squeezing your nose. Squeeze the top of your nose and pull it out like you are trying to pull your nose out of your face. This is painful, but you can stop sneezing just by stretching the cartilage.
Blow your nose. Use a tissue to blow your nose when you feel you are about to sneeze. Blowing your nose helps to clear your sinuses, which is what causes sneezing.
Pinch the upper lip. Use your thumb and index finger to gently pinch your upper lip and press upward toward the nostril. Thumbs toward one nostril, index finger pointing to the other, upper lip slightly closed.
Use your tongue. Press your tongue behind the two front teeth, where the palate is close to your gums. Use as much pressure as possible on your teeth until the urge to sneeze is gone.
Stop, bend down and wait. Find a small table in the house, face down about 2.5 cm from the table, and stick out your tongue; The sneeze will naturally subside in about 5-7 seconds. If that didn't work, at least it would get someone nearby to move away!
Tickle yourself. Use the tip of your tongue to tickle the palate when you feel like sneezing. Continue until the sad sneeze disappears. This may take 5-10 seconds.
Use your hands to distract you. Stretch your thumb away from the other fingers. Use the fingernails of the thumb and index finger of the other hand to pinch the skin between the thumb and index finger of that hand.
Pinch the point between the ends of the eyebrows. This is the point that people usually press to relieve headaches, and it also works to stop sneezing. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch the point between your eyebrows until you feel the pull is strong enough.
Press under the nose. Using the side of your index finger (holding your finger horizontally below the eye), press the cartilage of your nose, just below the bridge of the nose. This action clamps one of the nerves that trigger a sneeze.
Press lightly in the ear. Grab your earlobes and move slightly when you feel about to sneeze. This can be disguised as playing with your earrings when you try to keep from sneezing in public.
If you see someone who wants to sneeze or if they tell you to sneeze, say something shocking; Sometimes the brain will 'forget' the sneeze.
Make an angry look. Clench your teeth, but try to stretch your tongue (push against the back of your front teeth). Press as hard as possible! Stimulation can stop sneezing attacks.
Use black cumin seeds. You can buy it online or at a vitamin / herbal supplement store. Wrap a handful of cloth, such as a handkerchief or a washcloth, and roll it in the palm of your hand to let the seeds break. Bring it up close to your nose and take a few breaths. The sneeze will disappear! advertisement
Method 2 of 3: Reduce the number of sneezes
Don't put yourself at risk of sneezing (snatiation in English). Right. There's actually a medical disorder in the way you can't stop sneezing because full stomach. This usually happens after a very full meal. Then how to avoid it? Do not eat too much.
- If you are curious to know, the word "snatiation" is the abbreviation of an English phrase (Sneezing Non-controllably At a Time of Indulgence of the Appetite — a Trait Inherited and Ordained to be Named). Its origin is a combination of sneeze and satiation. Now you know that phenomenon to control your eating habits. When do you find yourself sneezing often?
Determine if you have "sneezing in the sun". If you find yourself sneezing when exposed to strong light, you may have a reaction to intense sunlight sneezing. This phenomenon occurs in 18-35% of the population and is sometimes called Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome (ACHOO). Do you know one more thing? This syndrome is inherited and can be treated with antihistamines if it is inconvenient.
- Or, you can wear sunglasses (especially divergent lenses) or a scarf. In strong light (or sunlight), turn your eyes away and focus on somewhere darker or of medium brightness. This is even more important if you are driving.
Prepare. If you are entering an environment that is prone to sneezing (such as pepper or pollen spread), take sneezing precautions.
- Bring a tissue. Usually the sneezing and blowing the nose are often accompanied by each other.
- Find a way to moisten your nostrils. This can prevent sneezing attacks before they happen. While inhalation is certainly not a viable option, you can apply a wet washcloth to your nostrils, use eye drops, or inhale steam from a cup of hot water.
Stay away from allergens. For people who not only sneeze occasionally, but regularly have frequent sneezes, the possibility may be due to the environment. In addition to seeing a doctor, beware of allergies. Sneezing attacks can be significantly prevented.
- Take an antihistamine. Not only are these medications anti-sneezing, they also reduce coughs, runny nose and itchy eyes. Benadryl is known to cause drowsiness, but other drugs like Claritin have much less side effects.
- Close windows and doors. It is the same with cars. The less exposure to the allergen, the better. Things should stay out so don't let them get in where you live.
- If you have been outside for a long time, you will need to take a shower and change your clothes. Maybe how much annoying pollen is after you.
Method 3 of 3: Have a good habit of sneezing
Know when to stop sneezing. Sneezing, technically known as sneezing, is a coping mechanism for the body. Usually a sneeze expels the air in the body at speeds of up to 160 km / h, a very high speed and can be damaging if stopped improperly. So you should never stop when a sneeze is happening.
- For example, don't squeeze your nose or cover your mouth while sneezing. This could cause serious harm. If not released, the force and speed of the average sneeze can cause hearing loss and damage the blood vessels in your head, especially if you have a habit of holding off sneezing once it has begun to happen.
Sneeze properly. With others around, you run the risk of spreading harmful bacteria by sneezing once (or two, three, or even four times) into the air. The "mist" you emit can spread as far as 1.5 meters! This range can cover many people. So be careful!
- If you can, sneeze into a tissue and throw it away. If a tissue is not available, sneeze into your sleeve. If you sneeze into the palm of your hand, be sure to wash your hands afterwards. Hands often touch doorknobs, faces, surfaces and other people. If you happen to be away from water, be sure to bring hand sanitizer for safety.
Sneeze so politely. When you are in a crowd, you will surely get angry eyes if you sneeze "comfortably". You are spreading germs and interrupting the event, so it's best to sneeze as discreetly as possible.
- Sneezing into the elbow can reduce the sound. If you don't want to sneeze into your elbows, grab a tissue, bend your head down, and sneeze as low as possible.
Sneezing safely. If you have a broken rib, a sneeze can be very painful. Try to get all the air out of your lungs. This will reduce the pressure placed on the ribs and significantly weaken the sneezing, resulting in less pain.
- In fact, if any part of your abdomen hurts, you probably won't want to sneeze at all. Take the same precautions as above, but focus on breathing out. When there's not much air to expel, the internal parts won't shake and the sneeze doesn't have a lasting effect.
Advice
- Get into the habit of carrying a tissue or a handkerchief with you at all times so you don't have to sneeze unnecessarily.
- When you are about to sneeze, just say words that spell P like "pin ''. This will be easier than all the steps above.
- Reactive sneezing in the sun can cause people to sneeze repeatedly. 18% to 35% of the population has it, and whites are more common. This syndrome is inherited as a dominant feature of the chromosomes. This may be due to congenital abnormal activity in nerve signals in the nucleus of the trilamus nerve.
- Putting salt in your nose may help.
- If have Sneezing, you should be careful not to spread the germs. Many doctors now recommend sneezing into the inside of the elbow rather than sneezing into the palm of the hand to prevent the germs from spreading. At the very least, you should cover your mouth and nose to keep germs out of the air. You can blow your nose into a tissue and wash your hands as soon as possible to prevent spreading.
- If you feel like you are about to sneeze, get a packet of tissue (in case you sneeze several times).
- If you are around other people, hold your hands over your mouth to keep from spreading bacteria. Squeeze your nose.
- If you are about to sneeze, do not use your hands. Sneeze into your elbow to keep germs from spreading around.
- Another way to stop oncoming sneezing is to bite the inside of your lower lip (don't bite hard).
Warning
- Sneezing or trying to stop sneezing while it is happening can cause a mediastinal airflow, a very dangerous condition.
