A case study from BMJ illustrates the experience of a 34-year-old man in Britain who tried to hold a sneeze until finally ending hospital treatment for seven days.
The man tried to stop sneezing by covering his nose and mouth. This causes a shock-like sensation in the neck, pain and swelling. He also had difficulty swallowing and talking.
From X-ray examination shows that the latent pressure from sneezing has escaped the throat and tore the soft tissues of the pharynx. A hoarse voice is the result of air bubbles that melt into the soft neck tissue through tears.

Due to the high risk of infection, the man uses a food hose and is hospitalized for a week. Then the hose was released and he was asked to stop sneezing by covering his nose and mouth.
Usually, a tear in the pharynx is caused by a severe cough, tension, or vomiting. Stopping sneezing by closing the nostrils and mouth is very dangerous because it can cause soft tissue rupture and even a very lethal deadly aneurysm.
