"Understanding the Causes of a Runny Nose When Eating"
A runny nose when eating can be caused by various forms of rhinitis, including allergic and nonallergic rhinitis such as gustatory rhinitis, which is triggered by eating, and vasomotor rhinitis, triggered by changes in temperature and humidity. While self-diagnosis is possible, formal diagnosis by a physician is recommended to rule out other conditions. Treatment options include topical medications, nasal sprays, and procedures like RhinAer, which interrupts nerve signals to reduce symptoms. If the runny nose is bothersome or persistent, it's best to consult a doctor, especially if accompanied by thick or discolored discharge or other concerning symptoms.
