What Causes Running Nose While Having Food In An Elderly Person?
Hi doc... May i know why my 78yrs old dad has this problem of runny nose each time he eats. He has a weak heart and he doesnt want to go thru to check how much blockage he has to his heart. He is on medication for his heart for the past 1 year. What can be done to help him ease the runny nose?

Hello,
The runny nose after eating could be related to an allergic reaction to food. Anyway, I would first recommend consulting with an ENT specialist for a physical exam. Performing allergy tests and fasting glucose may be needed. There are different drugs that can help relieve these symptoms. Consulting with an allergologist is necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
