A senior lecturer from The University of Queensland has said that you could be blowing your nose the wrong way.

David King has brought forward the idea that habits you have now could be causing some damage.

'On balance it seems repeated and vigorous blowing of the nose may carry more risk than benefit, even though it seems to be a natural response to nasal congestion,' he wrote for The Conversation.

'So looking to remove the need to blow so forcefully is probably a better option'.
