RUNNY NOSE

What May Be Causing It?
Most runny noses are related to an allergy, but there are some other conditions that need to be excluded.

How Can I Get Some Relief?
Give over-the-counter allergy medicines like Claritin, Claritin-D, and Zyrtec a try. If they work for you, you probably have allergic rhinitis and taking over-the-counter antihistamines for these seasonal spring or fall allergies is perfectly fine.

Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Maybe. The rule of thumb is if you have this more than one season a year or if it is a continual problem, you should see a doctor for testing to find out what you’re allergic to and use other medicines to control your allergy.
