What works best for arresting a cold, running nose, etc?

Depends on the cause: For a running nose and nasal congestion nasal sprays including Afrin and phenylephrine may be helpful. If it is chronic rhinorrhea (runny nose), nasal steroid and antihistamine sprays help. If it is only the nasal dripping that is bothersome ipratroprium nasal spray is the best.
