My 1 yr old daughter has a runny nose. i tried a little benadryl (diphenhydramine) d 3hrs ago, but doesn't seem to be helping much. what should i do next?

Runny nose: Your daughter most probably has a cold. She does not need any intervention if she is breathing fine, taking feedings well and feels comfortable. There's no need to give her Benadryl (diphenhydramine) either. The cold will run its course.
