Could holding a sneeze cause your head to get bigger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : Although sneezing won't make a persons head bigger, the very strong force can have complications that include: slipped disk, broken teeth, ruptured ear drum, fractured rib and more. Thankfully this is rare. To read more interesting complication of sneezing read my blog at: http://www.Familyallergyasthmacare.Com/2013/12/sneezing-can-be-hazardous-to-your-health/.
