Maybe you shouldn't try every trend you see on TikTok, including sticking garlic up your nose..
Several TikTok videos have racked up literally millions of views with a "hack" for clearing your sinuses by putting a clove of peeled garlic in each nostril, but doctors are saying don't take medical advice from TikTok.. SHOCKER.
Doctors are warning against this new trend saying that while your nose might start running after you pull the cloves out, that doesn't mean that your sinus issues have been cured and it can actually make it worse in some cases.
According to a recent article in Food & Wine, blocking the nostril with any object will fill it with mucus, but since garlic is pretty strong, the garlic could actually further inflame the lining of each nostril.
Not to mention the obvious, sticking anything up your nose could lead to a situation of something getting stuck.
