A member asked:
Is sneezing out of my mouth the correct way to sneeze?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proper sneeze: Everyone has their own sneeze. Some are primarily from the nose, others the mouth, still others both. Ultimately, the proper sneeze is the one that successfully removes/resolves the irritant that prompted the sneeze in the first place. If it works, don't change it. Don't stifle it (that can hurt), and remember to cover up.
