The burrito bowl I got for lunch today was a bit too spicy for me. Afterwards, my nose got very runny. It’s not the first time this happened, so I decided to look it up. Lo and behold, there is a term for this!
ETA: I didn’t choose the thumbnail, it generated automatically. Sorry if it seems irrelevant to the post.
A runny nose can also be caused by reflux, particularly if it happens after food that is not spicy such as fatty foods or big meals. It’s often overlooked because it’s not the typical heartburn symptom.
because the acid irritates the nasal passages too, causing hypersecretion.
