What causes a runny nose after eating

Runny nose is very common in clinical practice. It may be caused by a simple cold, and some people may also have a runny nose after eating. Many people don’t know why they have a runny nose after eating. This may be caused by physical reasons leading to the invasion of cold.

1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is a protective layer outside the human body, called Wei Qi. This Wei Qi is formed by the essence of food digested by the spleen and stomach, and protects the human body outside the body. If the spleen and stomach are not in good health, this protective layer will be affected and people will be easily invaded by external wind and cold.

2. When the cold wind from outside invades the human body, it causes the pores to close. Once the pores are closed, the water vapor that originally emitted from the pores cannot be emitted normally. It has no choice but to be discharged, so it is squeezed into the respiratory tract. If it is too crowded, it condenses into liquid. Then phlegm forms in the lungs and mucus forms in the nasal cavity.

3. Such confusion also causes the lung qi to be unable to descend normally, and the water produced by the lungs cannot be transmitted to the bladder. Instead, it accumulates in the upper part of the body and turns into phlegm and nasal mucus, resulting in less urine.

4. The treatment at this time should be to open the pores and let the moisture out, and the phlegm and runny nose will be cured. This is a symptomatic treatment. Normally, we should strengthen the spleen and regulate the middle burner. When the spleen and stomach are healthy, the body's outer protective layer will be strong and this situation will not occur. This is the fundamental treatment.

5. This situation may also be a problem of chronic rhinitis. According to this situation, it is best to do a bacterial culture to find the most effective antibiotic to prescribe the right medicine. However, it must be treated thoroughly, otherwise it is easy to relapse. Usually, eat more foods rich in vitamins and proteins such as vegetables, animal offal, eggs, meat, soy products, and exercise more to strengthen your physical fitness.
