A runny nose is usually a symptom of an allergy or the common cold or flu. A runny nose consists of irregular amounts of nasal discharge coming from the nose.
What Causes a Runny Nose?
The glands in your nose constantly produce mucus which your body uses to clean and moisturized your nasal passages. This mucus production is also sped up to help fight infection when you have a cold or the flu causing a runny nose. Spicy foods, cold temperatures and hormonal changes can also trigger a runny nose.Treatment
There is usually no treatment need for a runny nose and it will clear up on its own. Blowing your nose is helpful and taking antihistamines can help dry it up if it is becoming uncomfortable. For babies and small children using a soft rubber suction bulb can be helpful.Disclaimer
