Runny Nose: There is absolutely no need for urgent or life saving er care for a runny nose. I would first clean up the mold and see how your symptoms are. If they clear up then the runny nose may have been in reaction to the mold. If they do not clear up then the mold most likely is not the cause of these symptoms.
