Sneeze

When you feel like you need to sneeze, it means that your body is trying to get rid of something that's bothering your nose. This could be dust, pollen, or even just a tickling feeling.

When you sneeze, your body takes a big breath of air and then pushes it out really fast through your nose and mouth. This helps clear out all the stuff that was bothering your nose.

It's important to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze, because all the germs and yucky stuff that come out can spread to other people. You can use your elbow or a tissue to cover your face, and then throw the tissue away right away to make sure nobody else gets sick.

Sneezing is a normal and healthy thing for your body to do. It might make you feel better afterwards, and it helps keep your nose clean and healthy.
