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.

    Yep I was in the same boat for years, runny nose or coughing and feeling sick mostly after eating out. Just powered through it thinking it was this or me just having a week stomach. Eventually figured out that reflux meds like Gaviscon helped and then had a gastroscopy and was diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal reflux… Took years to put 2 and 2 together because I never got ‘heart burn’. Hopefully not as serious for you!
