Why you should blow your nose when you have a cold rather than sniff it back?

It is best not to do this. Blowing your nose can actually cause mucus to go back up into your sinus cavities, causing more irritations and possible infection. It is better to not blow your nose. If you HAVE to blow your nose just blow gently and try not to put a lot of pressure into it, e.g., don't blow so hard your ears pop. Don't hold one nostril closed and blow forcefully out of the other side, either, this also raises the pressure.
Use of saline nasal spray to clear your nasal passages is recommended by most health care professionals in these situations. These are available at pharmacies over the counter. Follow the label directions for use. There are also nasal irrigations you can use for this, one brand with all needed equipment is called Netti Pot.

∙ 10y agoBecause... the mucus is secreted by the body to 'trap' bacteria, dust and microbes before they get to the lungs. If you 'inhale' the mucus to your lungs, you're simply pushing the bacteria further into your body - which means either your cold will last longer (as your body has to fight harder to repel the bacteria) or it will develop into a more serious disease such as pneumonia.

Is it good to sniff when you have a cold?
Well, it is better than blowing. But, best is to use nasal saline spray to rinse your nose and then gently wipe your nose and blow into a tissue. Blowing your nose forcefully can raise pressures that can force contaminated fluids into your ears from your Eustachian tubes, causing infection. Usually you can't or don't sniff hard enough to cause the same problems as you can with blowing. However, why pull back in what should be going out of your nose and body? Try antihistamines and OTC cold medicines to control the runny nose and use the saline spray to clear things. Ask your pharmacist for suggestions.
