Why do people cough or sneeze when there is dust in the air?

When you are in a dusty place, you do tend to cough and sneeze more often. That is because the dust particles get breathed into your nose and throat and caught in the mucus lining, on nose hairs, and cilia in your lungs. When dust is in your nose, it can irritate your nose's lining. This causes you to sneeze, in an effort to clear the dust from your nose. A cough works the same way, but it clears your throat and lungs. Special Caution: Be sure to cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and then throw it away. Or, if no tissue is at hand, cover your nose and mouth with your arm and sleeve by turning your face into the crook of your elbow. Wash your hands afterward.

Is it possible to cough and sneeze at same time?

No, a sneeze comes out your nose and mouth and is your body's way to try to clear your upper respiratory system of irritants. A cough comes from your lungs and bronchial tubes and is your body's way of clearing liquids, obstructions, irritation and drainage from that part of the respiratory system.


Why do you cough and sneeze when you have a cold?

People think that you're sick when you sneeze because most people who have colds sneeze A LOT!!!! Not to mention that I've had one before! Back a few hundred years, about the time on the Great Plague in England, when a person sneezed people would often say "God bless you". In the hope that the person would not have any desasterous illness. It is said even today by some of the older folk who still remember Chicken Pox, measles, diphthira and infantile paralasis.

What are some symptoms of Flu?

Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or possibly their nose.

How are cough and sneeze the same?

Both of them are reflexes to an irritant or obstruction of the airway. They both can spread disease by releasing virus particles or other infectious organisms into the air and onto surrounding surfaces on respiratory droplets that are released. This is why you should cover you mouth when you cough or sneeze. They both involve the respiratory system, both are symptoms of cold and flu and are often symptoms that are realized together. Both involve air forced from your lungs in a sudden forceful "explosion." Both indicate bad manners when they are not properly covered to protect others.
