Patient's question:
A 24-year-old man from Anhui doesn't know what's wrong. He starts running a nose when eating. I'm so worried it might be a serious illness and don't know what to do. He hasn't gone for a check-up yet. Is there any way to stop the runny nose?Doctor's answer:
When you have a runny nose while eating dinner, it is usually caused by rhinitis. If the runny nose is accompanied by chills, nasal itching, nasal congestion, headache, and loss of smell, it could be due to allergic rhinitis. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and then receive additional treatment. If it is caused by allergies or inflammation, when initially diagnosing rhinitis, pay attention to a regular diet, focusing on light foods, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
