When I stick a Q Tip in my ear, I cough, why?


Question:


Answers:
Your ears, nose and throat are all connected, you probably stimulate your throat when inserting the Q-tip. And just so you know...Q-tips are BAD for your ears. It says not to put them in your ears right on the box. I suggest an ear wash kit...a little on the expensive side for the size you get, but you only use it once a week, and it lasts a while, and its much safer than running the risk of damaging your tympanic membrane (eardrum) :)
it's either instinct or a weird reaction. nothing's wrong w/ you though
