Sneezing is a reflex action that occurs when the nasal mucosa, which is the lining of the nose, is irritated. This can be caused by various factors such as allergies, irritants, infections, or sudden exposure to bright light.
When the nasal mucosa is irritated, it sends a signal to the brain, which triggers a sneeze. During a sneeze, the muscles of the chest and abdomen contract, and air is expelled forcefully through the mouth and nose. This helps to clear the irritant or foreign object from the nasal passages.
In some cases, sneezing may be accompanied by other symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, watery eyes, or itching. These symptoms are usually associated with allergies or infections such as the common cold or flu.
If sneezing is accompanied by other symptoms or if it persists for an extended period, it is advisable to seek medical attention to rule out any underlying health conditions or allergies.
