To treat a runny nose, start with steam inhalation or a steamy shower to moisturize the sinus passages. Over-the-counter decongestant nasal sprays should be used for a maximum of three to five days to avoid rebound congestion. Neti pots and saline rinses can also help clear mucus from the nose, but it's important to use sterile water to prevent infection.

Pineapple tongue, a burning and tingling sensation experienced by many after consuming pineapple, is not typically caused by an allergy but rather by an enzyme called bromelain found in the fruit. Bromelain breaks down protein in the mouth's lining, leading to irritation, and the natural acidity of pineapples can further exacerbate the discomfort. While the damage is usually mild and the tissue begins to heal itself after consumption, severe symptoms may indicate a pineapple allergy, which requires medical attention. To prevent pineapple tongue, avoiding the stem, rubbing salt on pineapple, soaking it in salt water, cooking it, or pairing it with dairy-based products can help mitigate the reaction.
