Nose blowing : Hello, after a sneeze or nose blow, the air typically travels thru your nose and out. If you contain your sneeze within you nose or blow forcefully, the air will find another route out. A less traveled path would be through your lacrimal duct in a antegrade or backward path towards the corner of your eye.
