^Same here. A couple whiffs in an attempt to open the sinuses. If that doesn't work, time for some ingestion.

My favorite for this is wasabi peas. They taste kinda good and when you have a cold they clear everything up. I snack on them 24/7 when I have a cold.

I love spicy food, and my mouth can endure it, but my stomach can't. I almost always end up with diarrhea afterwards if it's anything above medium-spicy.

I NEVER had this issue. I don't understand why everyone says this.

Maybe you should try some hardcore spicy Asian food, e.g.

What type of food would you consider medium spicy? Everyone's got different standards when it comes to those kinds of measurements.

I usually go by what the restaurants say is medium spicy, although it differs for some restaurants that go overboard on the spiciness.

I don't mind spiciness, but I've come a long way in tastes and adding spicy sauce or whatever to my food doesn't do anything to enhance or diminish the taste or experience. So I don't care either way for spiciness.

For example, add like half a cup of sliced jalapenos to my nachos and I would say "meh, it doesn't really make it any better." Add curry to my chicken wings and I'll go "That's a lot better and tastier than drizzling it in Sriracha sauce."

Curry is less on the spiciness than most, but it's far more full in flavor than those common spicier flavorings. And that's what matters to me a lot more.

I don't mind it, it's all about tastiness to me.
