Sometimes the temperature of a food, for example, steaming hot beverages or soups, will trigger runny nose symptoms, again based on neurologic, not allergic, responses. I often sneeze while eating breakfast, no matter what the food. Is this an allergy? There are many triggers of sneezing in the morning. A buildup of mucus from the night before can trigger a sneeze. Another cause of morning sneezing is sunlight. As the sun flickers through the window, it can trigger a neurologic response in some people that makes them sneeze.
Rarely, this happens on both sides. The streak runs from the corner of the mouth to the ear on one side of the face when a food promotes salivation. Tart or sour foods are the most likely triggers. The nerve damage results in a connection between salivation and the nerves that tell blood vessels in the cheek to expand, causing more redness. Children at risk are those born by forceps delivery, presumably having experienced some nerve trauma to the face. This usually fades with age. Adults with this problem are usually those treated for salivary gland cancer, with resulting nerve damage.
