Why do people sneeze and cough?<br><br> I will give brainly if you explain why.
ki77a [65]

The sneezing is release of air that helps the body to get rid of irritants in our nose and throat, like allergens, dirt, and dust.

Coughing is by forcing the air out of the lungs with high pressure, to clear the throat of these foreign particles.
