Gotta Sneeze?
Feb 28, 2025
TIL: You can actually STOP a sneeze by applying pressure to the philtrum - that little groove between your nose and upper lip.
I discovered this tip today after getting a silver nitrate procedure to treat my extreme nosebleeds... #hemangioma
When I asked my doctor what to do if I needed to sneeze (which could potentially disrupt the healing), he shared this simple trick - and it actually works!!
Just press firmly on that spot right below your nose when you feel a sneeze coming on, and it somehow cancels the sneeze reflex.
This could be super helpful if you're:
• In a quiet meeting
• Had a recent nose procedure
• Trying not to spray germs everywhere
• In a situation where sneezing would be awkward
