A member asked:
Can you sneeze and cough at the same time and what would happen.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: and not much. Sneezing is just the forcible expulsion of air from the nose. Coughing is just the forcible expulsion of air from the mouth. It is possible to do both at the same time, but the combination is not harmful. Hope this helps!
