I have a bad habit of plugging my nose with my fingers when i sneeze so basically i hold in my sneeze. i know its bad but is there any way to change?

Let it out: Don't want to increase pressure in the ears and sinuses, especially if they are already clogged. Sneeze is housecleaning of the nasal passages.
