This is new to me, but i've been told by a
paramedic that blowing your nose can be
detrimental to getting rid of a cold
quickly. He said that blowing your nose
forces more mucus into your sinusses
risking more infection. He actually said,
and this grosses me out, that sucking it
back into your mouth and spitting is
better than blowing your nose.
I want to know if this is true or not, and
if it is true, could someone point me in
the right direction of a reference or two?
Thanks!
