A member asked:
Had a cold two weeks ago and have post nasal drip now. all tastes seem normal expect i have a much higher tolerance for spicey food. it barely bothers me. why is this?

I do not know: Maybe the virus affected your taste and spicy food tolerance in some way. These things are usually transient and in the near future, you will most likely be back to normal. Best wishes.
