If he's about to sneeze (and can feel it building up) then he should stare at a bright light (obviously not TOO bright or sneezing will be the least of his problems!) It stops you from sneezing! It does work...bout 50% of the time. God knows how though!\n Failing that, make him sit in the garden.At least you wont be able to hear him!!

Sneezing into your elbow is a food service trick. If you must scratch your nose, sneeze, cough, or otherwise touch your face while handling food use your elbow. Then you don't run the risk of getting anything on someone's food, or on your hands while you are preparing their food. You should wash hands sometime in the next couple minutes but if you don't feel good or if you have allergies, stopping to wash hands for every little interruption, even with food, becomes a real hassle.\n\nI don't hold in sneezes, I usually sneeze into my chest from behind my shirt. Its just a little spit usually and I guess I should explain that I don't need the best looking solution...I work at a therapeutic wilderness camp and hike around in the forest half the time. Hygenically it doesn't matter and psychologically, we are trying to teach kids to accept themselves and their shortcomings...so we let it allll hang out, farts, burps, sneezes. If I am in a more formal situation, I may still sneeze into my shirt, if a sneeze sneaks up on me, NOT out of laziness but to keep from sneezing ON someone because mine are usually pretty sudden. Then I reach for a tissue or napkin ASAP and use that. From there, say excuse me, check quickly for boogies, blow nose if you think you need to, and get on with your life.

You are sneezing for a reason.  Just let the sneeze happen so the offending materials can be effectively eliminated.

It's a good idea to keep tissues with you so that you can grab one and sneeze into it with your hands at your nose and mouth. That can muffle the sound a little.\n\nYou can actually break bones in your face if you try to stifle a sneeze as others here have suggested--a VERY bad idea!\n\nI don't try to do anything about the sound when I'm alone. When I'm in public, I grab my tissue as I said above, and turn away from others and try to allow some of the air coming from the sneeze out through my mouth.

If your heart stops your dead or in cardiac-arrest, plain and simple. Sneezes increase the pressure in your chest and change blood flow, causing the heart to "flutter" a little bit. When u sneeze your heart doesnt stop or pause or anything, it may speed up, but stopin is a negative. \n\nThe "bless you" thing came from the plague, when people sneezed it was a sign of the plague. They said "bless you" so that incase that u didnt make it, you would still go to heaven after u bit the dust.\n\nFinal Answer: Hearts dont stop from sneezing. "Bless you" is said from the days of the plague.

Very little is done for factured ribs now.  If you can ice it, that will help with the pain.  Some athletic tape will also give some support.  Even better - try to get hold of some Kinesio Tape (www.kinesiotaping.com).  I use it as a physical therapist and it helps support like nothing else.\n\nIf you need to cough, try to support the area with a cushion and gentle pressure.  To help stop sneezing, press just under your nose as hard as you can (where your nose meets the top lip in the middle) - its an accupuncture point that works great.\n\nJust hang in there - it will get better but hurts like hell.  Keep trying to take deep breaths (as pain allows)- that will minimize the chances of lung problems developing.

mix some eucalyptus oil in hot water, pop your head over it and cover with a towel, this will hopefully stop your cold going onto your chest, try and breathe in the fumes for as long as possible. also rub some under your nose as it'll help unblock your nose and rub onto your chest and pillow when you go to bed. i sympathise as I've had 2 colds in 6 weeks.

Some people can sneeze with their eyes open and some people can’t. Sneezing is a reflex and so is closing our eyes. We have no control over whether or not we close our eyes when we sneeze. Some people don’t have reflex, so when they sneeze then their eyes won’t close. Some people try to close their eyes so when they sneeze their eyes won’t pop out. Your eyes don’t really pop out. People without the reflex to sneeze with their eyes open can try to train themselves to sneeze with their eyes open. One good way to do this is if when you sneeze you hold your eyes open.\n\n    People think that when you close your eyes when you sneeze that you are blocking germs and bacteria. That is not true because your eyes deal with germs all the time. If you close your eyes during a sneeze, then it is just a reflex. During this part of the sneeze, we tense some of our muscles. The tensing (tightening) of our muscles causes our eyes to shut.\n\n    People that sneeze a lot can prevent sneezing. If you feel a sneeze, then use saline solution. You can also softly hold your nose at the end. These things can help your body remove things it does not want without sneezing.\n\n    No one knows the reason you close your eyes when you sneeze. There are many possibilities. Some people think it is to protect your eyes from flying goop. Most doctors think that it is still a reflex, or we just can’t help it.\n\n    Sneezing is very good for you and your body because it removes things from your body like bacteria and germs. It also is good because it keeps the tubes that carry the air from your nose to the lungs healthy. Sneezing makes your nose clear when you have a cold. If you used to hate sneezing, then I hope this has changed your mind.

Sneezing is actually a reflex action to a stimuli.The nerves send the message to the brain and then you sneeze. During sleep the reflex part of your brain rests too. The irritant still annoys the nerves but  no message is sent to the brain. However if the stimuli builds the irritant to  a level registered as pain the brain will wake you and you will sneeze (but to have this part of your brain working  you need to be awake!!)Scientific Fact! :)

Flonase spray worked the best for me. But you have to use it every morning as a treatment. Before, everything made me sneeze! I was constantly going home from work or school because it was unbearable. Now it's like I've never had hay fever! It took it a few days to really start working, but I kept with it. I'm so glad I did. I only had to use it for a few months, then once I stopped using it, it's like it's still working. No sneezing!

I've got one for you to try.  I was an asthma sufferer for all of my life.  I worked with a doctor that had many "old-wives tales" remedies and I tried this one and I swear to this day that this is what worked.  You need to find a local honey bee keeper and buy some honey from your community.  The bees bring back the pollen from the local plants (allergens) you need take 2 tsps 2x a day.  This will build up your tolerence to your local triggers.\nhope it works...I have not had a flare up since doing this...if I move I start all over again.

For starters, as I am sure you have found out for yourself, nasal strips WILL NOT WORK...they open the nasal passages, but since snooring is usually caused by the tongue blocking airways, it does nothing. Great for colds though! :p I find a nice elbow to the side works well (not too hard! I know it is tempting...) other than that, try to get him to sleep on his stomach, as this should let the tongue relax foward and away from the airway. Aviod sleeping on the back at all costs. Good luck!

take lots of vitamin c to boost your immune system, and zinc will help your cold go away a little faster. coldeeze drops work very well, and ive heard that Zicam swabs work great too but i havent tried them.\nother than that, just drink lots of fluids, get lots of rest, and take some cold medicine to relieve your symptoms. \nhope you feel better soon!

Sneezing helps u to remove an irritation from your nose.It is more of a response than a voluntary action. Like all other involuntary actions in our body sneezing also involves a lot of muscles. Some of these muscles may be involved in the closing of the eye lids. Being an involuntary action we are unable to keep our eyes open when sneezing. \nHowever we do find yogis who have control on many of their muscles - may be they will be in a better position to keep their eyes open when sneezing.\n\nOn the lighter side - what do you really expect to see when u are sneezing!!!!!

As they all say that's false. However...when you have a heart attack a strong sneeze can *stop* the heart attack! It really works (I've had to force a sneeze a few times).
