Why does using Qtips in your ears make you Sneeze?

They don't.

Never happened to me, but I also don't push it all the way to the side of my throat.

A less well-known side effect of sticking things in your ear is an automatic coughing reflex – nicknamed “Arnold’s ear-cough reflex” after the man who first described it, Friedrich Arnold, a 19th-century German scholar.


So, what exactly does your ear canal have to do with coughing?

It all comes down to your vagus – the long nerve that stretches from your brain to your torso, linking to the heart, lungs, and other organs along the way. It touches the top of your ear, helps control your larynx, and extends to your stomach and lower intestines. Appropriately, like the word “vagabond”, its name stems from the Latin for “wandering”.

The vagus nerve performs all sorts of essential functions that enable you to go about your day-to-day life, from talking to eating to breathing to peeing – and yes, controlling your cough reflex.

Why do I cry when I yawn?

First sign you might be having a stroke.

Cough every time.

No but when I shave under my nose, the top of my head itches.
