Which treatment works the best and fastest for runny nose?

Antihistamine spray: The new antihistamine nasal sprays (astelin, astepro, patanase) relieve symptoms in 30-45 minutes. Otc sprays like afrin are a little faster but the antihistamine sprays are safer.

Age and Cause: For kids otc meds other than saline nose drops are not recommended under 6 years old.Also a humidifier may help.Runny nose from allergies may respond to anti - histaminic agents at any age. Check with your doctor.
