How to Blow Your Nose Properly: Avoid Common Mistakes #3250436 (License: Personal Use)

The image contrasts two nose-blowing methods: on the left, a person tilts their head back while blowing, marked with a red X as incorrect; on the right, they press one nostril closed and blow gently through the other, indicated by a green checkmark as correct. This technique reduces risk of forcing mucus into the Eustachian tubes or sinuses. Medical sources confirm that forceful bilateral blowing can cause barotrauma or otitis media.
