🌶️ Love sambal, mala or spicy nasi lemak? But your nose always starts running? 🤧
Don’t worry—it’s usually not a cold!
The spicy ingredient capsaicin stimulates the nerves in your nose, causing it to produce more mucus. That’s why your nose starts running while you enjoy your favourite spicy food.
It’s usually harmless. But if it happens with every meal, even non-spicy ones, it may be worth seeing an ENT specialist.
🌶️ Save this for your next spicy makan!
