Can holding in a sneeze hurt organs?

Yes, holding in a sneeze can potentially cause harm. When you suppress a sneeze, the pressure can build up in the nasal passages and sinuses, which may lead to injury, such as a ruptured eardrum or damage to blood vessels in the eyes or brain. In rare cases, it could also result in other complications, like a pneumothorax, due to the pressure being redirected to the lungs. Therefore, it's generally better to sneeze openly into a tissue or your elbow.


Does blocking a sneeze kill brain cells?

I haven't seen any information relating to holding a sneeze and killing brain cells by doing so. However, a sneeze is your body's way of trying to get rid of an irritant as in the form of allergies, or a cold or flu virus. Holding a sneeze is not a good idea as whatever irritant sitting inside your nose will not be evacuated and may get into the sinuses and other airways and cause infection.

Why is it bad to hold in a sneeze?

Holding in a sneeze is like holding down the top of a jack-in-the-box. Why not just let it out? The air expelled by sneezes is said to travel up to 100 miles per hour; holding in a sneeze could cause fractures in the nasal cartilage, nosebleeds, burst eardrums, hearing loss, vertigo or detached retinas. Therefore it is best to let your sneeze fly (yet shielded by a hankie, preferably). Plus, your body is trying to clear out your pharynx-and that's a good thing. To help the sneeze come out, look at a bright light. This stimulates the optic nerve, which crosses wires with the sneeze center. The added irritation of an adjacent nerve will get the sneeze going.
