In one of the most recent episodes of «Camp kulinaris» viewers witness that comedian Håvard Lilleheie (49) facing a challenge. He has to sneeze, but does not feel it fits. Lilleheie therefore decides to hold back the sneeze, but it turns out to have consequences.
He loses his voice and ends up with a sore throat.
The program shows that Lilleheie receives both cortisone and Ibux from participant Linda Johansen (54) in the hope that the pain will disappear and the voice will return.

Lost his voice and got wounded
When See and Hear strikes the thread, Lilleheie tells more about what happened behind the scenes. The comedian initially explains that the sessions with TV chef Kjartan Skjelde (45) are experienced as a bit “sacred” when you are in the program, and that it feels as if a lot is at stake.
– I became dizzy and had an intense headache
In other words, he did not want to be the one who disturbed.
– I can have such a real man-sneeze. Such an unpleasant, annoying man-sneeze that is loud, takes up a lot of space and is something you do not want to see at all in a corona time, Lilleheie explains to Se og Hør.

The participants in the reality show were tested regularly for corona, but Lilleheie still thinks there is something unpleasant about sneezing in front of everyone during a pandemic.
– It has been tough in the relationship
– I kept it in and there were two pieces, it also happened in one way or another, I do not understand how, a wound in the throat, he further explains.
According to Lilleheie, he lost his voice for only a few days, while the sore throat he had for several months after the recording.

– It’s not healthy to hold a sneeze like that, but it was the shame that simply took me there, he admits.
Now that Lilleheie knows how wrong it can go, he admits that he would not do the same thing again:
Make changes to «Camp Kulinaris»
– Then I would probably have thought that even Kjartan must endure a sneeze. Then I would probably just throw up my elbow and let it go.
– Now that I know what I know, the lesson I can give to the Norwegian people must be that if you have to sneeze, you just have to let the sneeze come, otherwise it can cause health challenges, he adds.

Warns
See and Hear has been in contact with the doctor and the husband of Katarina Flatland (32), Harald Meling Dobloug (32).
He warns others against doing the same as Lilleheie.
Joked doctor in court
– The point of sneezing is that the body will get rid of foreign bodies such as bacteria and viruses. Therefore, sneezing should not really be suppressed, no matter how little keen you are on risking snot and splashes, Dobloug tells Se og Hør about Lilleheie’s sneezing incident.
Dobloug further says that a sneeze that is suppressed after it has built up, gives a greatly increased pressure in the airways – which in turn gives a risk of injury.
– Men are actually more prone to injuries in connection with holding back sneezes. It is possible that this is because they have larger lungs and stronger muscles so that the sneezes often come with greater force, says Dobloug, and adds that the pressure in the airways increases by 20 times when sneezing.

– May cause stomach acid in the respiratory tract
– When Håvard suppressed the sneezing, this gave an enormous pressure load on the airways and on the vocal cords, says Dobloug, and follows up:
– This has probably caused damage / irritation of the vocal cords and the respiratory tract in general. In addition, you can actually get stomach acid in the airways when you suppress sneezing, because the pressure that arises can carry stomach acid up into the airways. The result is irritation of the airways and vocal cords, which causes pain and hoarseness.

Dobloug can also say that the condition in most cases will go away on its own, but that an inflammation passes more quickly with the use of Ibux and cortisone, which was also something Lilleheie used.
Had to have surgery after “Master of the Masters”
– Ibux is an over-the-counter drug that is excellent for this type of injury, but cortisone tablets are a prescription drug with many potential side effects that should only be used in consultation with a doctor, Dobloug points out, and adds:
– If you experience pain in the airways after suppressing a sneeze, and these pains do not go away quickly, I would recommend that you consult a doctor.
