We learned of something called gustatory rhinitis, which this might be? But he already doesn't eat anything spicy. Just black pepper and garlic at this point. And if it is gustatory rhinitis... no idea why it suddenly started after age 60?
I just sat with him from 6-7:30 PM just now, and there was NO nose blowing. Put dinner in front of him, and within one bite, he started blowing his nose like crazy. He's still doing it an hour later, as he bites his way through the meal.
Histamine reaction. Read up on high histamine foods.
Thanks - I don't think it is those foods, as we really don't eat many of them.
I think it is pepper and garlic. Or maybe just one of them.

We had Covid over break and have had long term runny nose and congestion. Annoying and a symptom for the whole family

Your house is too dry. If your sinuses get dry they compensate by producing more mucus. Get a good humidifier.

It worked! We cut out black pepper and garlic, and the runny nose constant nose blowing stopped!
Now waiting a few more days to see if it stays away, and then will reintroduce garlic first, then pepper to see if it was just a coincidence it stopped immediately after we removed them.

I'm sorry to hear that! Is there no medical treatment for it?

Get checked for sinus infection.

My nose runs when I wake up - three to four blowouts of clear mucus. Thereafter, I will
cough up a little mucus (light green) for an hour or so. After that I can sense a post nasal drip.
Occasionally I will get pressure around the eyes/forehead. The above has been going on for a few
years but worsened the last year or so. Like other posters it’s likely just allergies as I’m
still alive -57yo male. Been to many docs…tried antihistamine, etc. no fix yet. Oh well..

No other cold or flu symptoms like coughing, headache, fever.
If you let your nose drip onto a tissue, and there’s a reddish inner area of moisture surrounded by a clear outer area of moisture, you could have a brain fluid leak.

Winter has sneezing but mostly a constant runny nose. I'm the last with the tissue up my sleeve because if I lean over, my nose is like a faucet!
I take allergy meds every day.
Me too. My nose runs in the winter for so many reasons it’s hard to count them all- being outside in the cold, being inside a place with dry air, drinking warm liquids, exercise, etc.

Sinus infection, allergies, or irritation (e.g., chronic dry air) for an adult.
For a kid, add on foreign body in the nose if it is unilateral. More likely if it is green or yellow snot, less likely (but still possible) for clear/whitish fluid.
