Coughing and Sneezing can happen at any time especially when you are sick. Most people try to depress their coughs or sneezing… DON”T. Research has actually shown that using cough suppressants actually prolong healing and agitate the membranes of your throat and lungs more so that when that soothing effect wears off you actually cough more.
Coughing and Sneezing are the natural ways of getting rid of phloem, dirt, bad air, unwanted bacteria and viruses. Now you may not want to cough or sneeze on your neighbor but a handkerchief, sleeve (especially on your shoulder) or other article of cloth are great ways to let it all go and trap any unwanted projectiles.
