I sneeze really loudly and powerful and often I can’t control it. What makes it worse is, its often sprays a lot of saliva as well. I’m safe most of the time if I can get to my handkerchief or tissue in time. But there are times I have no other option but to let it out. Has anyone found a way to tame it and make it milder or easier to control.

    Makes sense. Gonna try this the next time…

    Edit : Just sneezed. There’s a problem. Just as I’m about to sneeze I breath in. I’ll need to use a lot of force in a short time to exhale any air. Am I doing it wrong?

      I don’t exhale, rather I just close off my airway to stop the big inhale. It sounds super uncomfortable to try exhaling at that point, but with some practice I have been able to stop the inhale and that mutes the sneeze considerably. Also, I can plug my nose when I feel it start to tickle and stop the sneeze entirely.
