Depends on cause: There are many causes of runny nose. Most commonly: allergic rhinitis and vasomotor rhinitis. More unusual and rare causes include spinal fluid leakage in someone who has had nasal surgery. First the cause should be identified by an allergist. If allergic in nature, there are a medications and immunotherapy, for vasomotor there are also medications and possible experimental surgery that can help.

Depends on cause: Best to first find out the cause of a runny nose. Some people have a runny nose because of allergies, some because of vasomotor rhinitis, others because they have blockage in their nose, most commonly viruses. Seeing an allergist can help you. You can try saline rinsing your nose to help keep it clean of irritants. If you have allergies, allergy shot (immunotherapy) may cure your allergies.
