SNIFFLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Sniffling is a verb that refers to the act of audibly and repeatedly inhaling air through the nose in a somewhat noisy manner due to nasal congestion, often accompanied by the intermittent leaking of mucus. It is commonly associated with a congested or runny nose caused by a cold, allergies, or other respiratory conditions.
When a person is sniffling, they may produce a series of short, rhythmic sniffs, typically due to discomfort or in an attempt to clear congestion. Sniffling is often accompanied by a feeling of nasal irritation or the sensation of fluid build-up in the nasal passages. The act of sniffing repeatedly can also cause a mild but temporary relief from congestion, although it may be temporary and rarely provides a complete resolution.
Sniffling can be a bothersome symptom that is often associated with an increased production and release of nasal secretions. The sound generated during sniffling is distinct, with a repeated short inhalation, and may also be characterized by a wet or congested sound.
The term "sniffling" is commonly used to describe the action of inhaling air sharply through the nose to alleviate congestion or clear the nasal passages. It is a common symptom experienced during the course of various respiratory illnesses, but it may also occur temporarily due to environmental factors or irritants.
