A member asked:

How to stop a bad runny nose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Depends.: First you need to find out what is causing it. If it is from an allergic condition as in hay fever, antihistamine may help. If this is a persistent and bothersome issue, see an allergist.
