Rhinitis is the medical term for inflammation of the mucus membrane in your nose. This inflammation leads to sneezing, stuffiness, and a runny nose. Rhinitis is often broken down into allergic and nonallergic rhinitis. The different types depend on whether or not it’s caused by allergies.
Gustatory rhinitis is a type of nonallergic rhinitis that’s caused by eating certain foods, usually spicy or hot ones. Drinking alcohol can also cause a gustatory rhinitis flare-up.
