Can spicy food make throat feel swollen ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Capaicin the essential chemical in spices can cause local reaction in almost everyone but some people are more sensitive than others. Milk is a good "neutralizet" to this effect. If , however , the swelling is severe or remains for more than several minutes you may have an allergy which requires attention!
