Why do we start getting cold when we eat spicy food?

Question

Hello,

cold usually happens to weather/ season change/ exposure to particular allergen. 
If you have symptoms like sneezing, running nose, blocked nose, headache, may be mild fever, please follow - 
1. Adequate rest, proper sleep, and healthy diet is the key treatment to cold/ coryza. 
2. Drink lots of fluids and eat homemade food. 
3. Drink hot beverages (tea/ coffee) to relieve nasal congestion.
4. Take steam inhalation carefully by steam inhaler twice a day for 2-3 days
5. Blow your nose to sniff mucus out. 
6. Take steamy shower. Steamy showers moisturize your nasal passages and relax you.
7. If you have sore throat, do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day till relief of symptoms.
8. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head. This will help with the drainage of nasal passages.
9. Take tablet levocetrizine 5 mg tablet once daily after food for 3 days,
10. In case of associated headache, bodyache, mild fever, or sore throat, instead of levocetrizine, take tablet sinarest one tablet 3 times daily after food for 3 days.

Consult again if symptoms persist or worsen.

***get well soon*** food is the best ever medicine, we have, so do not forget to eat homemade breakfast, make it a habit.
