Nasal Sweating

Nasal sweating, also known as gustatory rhinitis, is a medical condition where an individual experiences excessive sweating and/or nasal congestion after eating or drinking certain foods. This condition is typically caused by the dilation of blood vessels in the nasal passages in response to the ingestion of spicy, hot, or strongly flavoured foods, which can lead to excessive sweating and mucus production. Nasal sweating is a benign condition that is not usually associated with any serious health concerns, but it can be uncomfortable and embarrassing for some individuals. Treatment options for nasal sweating may include avoiding trigger foods, using over-the-counter nasal sprays or antihistamines, or anti-wrinkle treatments to relax the nostrils to prevent nasal sweating altogether.
