Ever notice your nose starts running the moment you bite into something spicy? 🌶️
You’re not alone — and there’s a real biological reason behind it.

When you eat spicy foods, the capsaicin found in peppers activates the same sensory nerves responsible for detecting heat and irritation. Your body thinks it’s under attack, so it quickly jumps into self-defense mode:
• Your mucus glands kick in to flush out the irritants
• Your tear ducts activate, watering your eyes
• Your nose starts running to clear the capsaicin from your nasal passages

This reaction is called gustatory rhinitis, and while it’s harmless for most people, it can be more bothersome for those who already deal with allergies or sinus issues.

In this video, the specialists at Capital ENT & Sinus Center explain exactly why this happens, what it means for your nasal health, and when it might be worth seeking treatment.

If you’re constantly battling sinus pressure, congestion, or recurring sinus infections, you may be dealing with chronic sinusitis—a condition that affects millions every year. When medications or nasal sprays just don’t work, a Balloon Sinuplasty can offer lasting relief.

At Capital ENT & Sinus Center, our board-certified ENT specialists perform Balloon Sinuplasty right in the office, using a tiny balloon to gently open blocked sinus passages. This minimally invasive procedure restores normal drainage and airflow—without cutting, stitches, or long recovery times. Most patients are back to their normal routines within a day or two.

Balloon Sinuplasty can reduce facial pressure, headaches, congestion, and fatigue, helping you breathe easier and feel better every day.

A healthy nasal septum keeps airflow smooth and balanced between both sides of the nose. But when that thin wall of cartilage and bone becomes deviated—whether from genetics, injury, or gradual shifting—it can lead to chronic congestion, mouth breathing, snoring, and poor sleep.

At Capital ENT & Sinus Center, our board-certified specialists evaluate each patient to determine how significant the deviation is and whether a septoplasty—a minimally invasive surgical correction—can help. Septoplasty straightens the septum to restore open airflow, reduce sinus pressure, and improve breathing comfort day and night.

If you’re tired of nasal blockage or never feeling fully rested, schedule an appointment with our experienced team today. We have convenient locations throughout Central Texas and same-week availability.

Most people never think about how they breathe — but nasal breathing is one of the most important functions for your overall health. When your nose is congested, narrow, or blocked, you may be forced to breathe through your mouth instead. And while it might feel “normal,” chronic mouth breathing can contribute to poor sleep, daytime fatigue, dry mouth, bad breath, dental issues, and even jaw development changes over time.

This video explains why nasal breathing matters, how your body is naturally designed to filter, warm, and humidify air through the nose, and what may be preventing you from breathing comfortably.

At Capital ENT & Sinus Center, our sinus and airway specialists evaluate for:
• Deviated septum
• Enlarged turbinates
• Chronic sinusitis
• Allergies
• Nasal valve collapse
• Or other structural airway issues

If you’ve been dealing with snoring, dry mouth, waking up tired, or breathing difficulty, you don’t have to “just live with it.” There are effective treatment options — both surgical and non-surgical — to help restore comfortable nasal breathing.

If you suffer from chronic sinusitis—constant congestion, sinus pressure, or infections that keep coming back—you may wonder whether you need Balloon Sinuplasty or Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

In this video, the specialists at Capital ENT & Sinus Center explain how they determine which treatment is best for each patient. You’ll learn how Balloon Sinuplasty works to gently open blocked sinus pathways and when a more advanced endoscopic approach might be recommended to remove obstructions, polyps, or inflamed tissue.

Both procedures aim to help you breathe easier, reduce infections, and restore normal sinus function—but choosing the right one depends on the severity of your symptoms and what’s happening inside your sinuses.

If you’ve recently recovered from a cold or sinus infection but still can’t smell or taste, you’re not alone.
This video from Capital ENT & Sinus Center explains why smell loss happens — and when it’s time to see an ENT specialist.

During a cold or sinus infection, inflammation and swelling can block airflow to the olfactory fibers high inside your nasal cavity — the nerves responsible for detecting smells. In some cases, viruses can temporarily damage these delicate olfactory cells, leading to lingering smell loss even after other symptoms are gone.

You’ll learn:
• Why your olfactory nerves stop working properly after a cold
• How long smell loss can last
• When it might signal a deeper issue like chronic sinusitis or nerve inflammation
• What treatments and evaluations can help restore your sense of smell

If you’ve noticed ongoing smell loss, schedule an appointment to make sure there’s no lasting damage — and to start breathing and smelling better again.

This rare but deadly infection can occur when contaminated water enters the nose—traveling through the sinuses and reaching the brain.

If you experience chronic sinus issues, congestion, or infections, our board-certified ENT doctors can help you breathe and live better.
