Should i blow my nose or sniff, i hate sniffing and usually develop a cough if i do but apparently its healthier.is that true?

Netti Pot: Either sniffing or blowing are fine (blowing really hard can cause problems, but this is rare). If you have a lot of nasal congestion, you may want to try a netti pot like neilmed sinus rinse. This can help clear the nose gently without medication. If the problem doesn't go away, your doctor may be able to prescribe medications that can help your nasal condition.
