Currently getting over a cold & improving but still very runny nose. will healing slow down if i take a med to stop runny nose while @ work?

Need more info: Is the runny nose due to allergy, infection, trauma, or foreign body? . My not knowing the answers you should not get into any trouble with an over the counter tablet or nasal spray. Ask your pharmacist to make a recommendation. if after 48-72 hours you get no relief make an appointment with your family physician.

No: The viral infection will take its time to heal and the drugs you take would not likely affect the progress one way or another.
