I do not tend to have sinus problems but whenever I eat a hot bowl of soup or drink a hot cup of tea my nose will run. The same goes for anything spicy whethers its hot or cold. Why?

Are you having crave for hot & spicy foods?
Usually when we consume food (tasty, hot & spicy) we get salivation which is due to signals from the mouth and also due to signals from brain (thinking of tasty food causes salivation)...
This is brought about by the Autonomic Nerves (Sympathetic & Parasympathetic) which also sypplies the mucous membranes of the nose.. So the stimulation can cause nasal secretions.. But this doesnot occur if there is a good balance in hte Nervous system., and is caused by the imbalance which may be due to emotions also...
I advise you not to bother about it.. Just forget it and it forgets you. if still the problem persists consult a locality doctor...

This happens because our body heat isn't well adjusted to the heat of the hot/spicy foods or drinks we are eating or drinking.

That happens to everyone I think. I'm not absolutely sure why, but I do know that those type things sure do have a tendency to clear out your sinuses. It's really great when you have a stopped up nose...lol. I suppose the heat and/or spices cause the sinus passages to expand, but I don't know.

that's normal don't worry,about the reason maybe it's a hereditary situation or your body temp. is much colder than what do you eat or drink
