These are called Cilia, these are protective mechanisms of the body that trap dirt that cannot pass through the respiratory system. Sneezing is a natural reflex that clears the nose passages from obstructions that might affect the lungs. Coughing is also a natural reflex that is generated by an irritation in the tonsils, this condition is commonly viral. The tonsils are responsible for protecting the passage of dirty air into the lungs.</span>
