Detailed explanation-1: -If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands.
Detailed explanation-2: -During a sneeze, the soft palate and palatine uvula depress while the back of the tongue elevates to partially close the passage to the mouth so that air ejected from the lungs may be expelled through the nose (Mygind, 1997). Due to a partially closed mouth, a large amount of the air is also expelled from the mouth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The idea is to cover your mouth when you cough (or sneeze) so the germs in your body are not propelled into the air or across the room, which could make others sick. It’s not difficult to cover your cough.
Detailed explanation-4: -Key Facts. Coughing is an important reflex that helps protect your airway and lungs against irritants. Coughing can propel air and particles out of your lungs and throat at speeds close to 50 miles per hour. Occasional coughing is normal as it helps clear your throat and airway of germs, mucus and dust.
