Sneezing refers to an involuntary and powerful expulsion of air from your lungs. Just like coughing, it is a way through which your body eliminates mucus and foreign irritants from the throat and nose. Sneezing causes strep throat the same way coughing does. When a person infected with Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria sneezes, the droplets that carry the bacteria are released into the air. When you inhale the contaminated air through your mouth or nose, you become infected and may start experiencing the signs and symptoms of the infection. Staying away from an infected person is one simple way to avoid infection through contaminated air.Next
