“We all know the feeling – you get the little twitch in your nose that won’t go away. You may wipe or itch your nose, but you don’t find relief until you let out a big ACHOO.

We all sneeze. It is just your body’s natural way of clearing out debris from the nose. While most people only sneeze a few times a day, there are other factors that could contribute to a change in your sneezing habits explains Frederick Yoo, M.D., an otolaryngologist and sinus surgery specialist at Henry Ford Health.

“Sneezing is often triggered by irritant to the nose,” says Dr. Yoo. “Your trigeminal nerve is a large nerve with branches to different parts of the face and irritation, from allergens, objects in the nose, boogers and mucus, of this nerve in the nose triggers the body to sneeze.”
