Question 1

i get sneezy and stuffy when i'm hungover. what up wit dat?

Accepted Answer

Recovery from: intoxication can result in histamine release in some people, and stuffy heads, runny noses and sneezing are not uncommon. The best way to treat a hangover is to not get one - don't drink to excess, and use "clear" alcoholic beverages rather than "dark" ones - beer, red wine and whisky more likely to produce severe hangovers. An antihistamine (benadryl (diphenhydramine) or loratidine etc.) will help.

Question 8

why do i get cold when i sneeze?

Accepted Answer

Cold symptoms: Colds as we call them are caused by a variety of viral infections.  Most of them cause irritation of the linings of the nose and that irritation causes sneezing (a mechanism the body has to try to get rid of nasal irritants.)

the virus is in the body well before you feel it.  The first symptom may be a sneeze, which means the virus is causing enough irritation for the body to try to get rid of it.

Question 9

please explain why people sneeze?

Accepted Answer

Protective reflex: Irritation of the back of the nose makes most people sneeze; the body thinks something may have crawled up there. Some people sneeze from allergies, from colds, from looking at the sun, after orgasm... The list goes on but it's intended to get something out of the nose even if the body's not sure.

Question 10

what causes me to sneeze out food?

Accepted Answer

Food: This should only happen when you are eating. When you sneeze air is pushed out through your nose and the mouth is closed and this sends food material in the back of your mouth out through your nose. If this happens and you have not been eating then please see your health care provider.
