Sneezing is your body's way of ridding foreign material. Excess mucus disturbs the cilia, or fine hairs, in your nasal cavity, causing you to expel them via a sneeze.

The body is programmed to sneeze when foreign matter gets into the nose. This mechanism keeps the stuff out of the lungs, where it could do some actual damage.
A cold virus produces mucus discharge, which is the body trying to ooze the virus out of the body. The mucus drizzles down the nose and feels like a foreign matter, triggering the sneeze reflex. Oops. Fooled again.
The cure is to drink vinegar, 1-2 tablespoons, 2-4 times a day. This puts the virus on the defensive and it spends its time trying to survive; it has nothing left over to pester the body with.

The reason we sneeze constantly when we catch a cold is because of the sick germs inside your nostrils. And then this is where medicine comes in. When you take medicine for colds, The medicine goes inside of your body, and actually KILLS your sick germs! Pretty neat, huh?
Hope that info helped!
