Saline sprays and washes are available at drugstores, and can help remove the mucus in your nose that’s causing it to run. Choose a gentle one that’s made for congested or runny noses and use it 3-4 times per day, following the instructions carefully. Avoid using a nasal spray for more than 5 days, as this can cause congestion to return. Look for nasal strips at the drugstore to clear your nose and help decongestion. Try strips made specifically for colds and congestion, and follow the directions on the box to place the strip over the bridge of your nose. Use it as often as directed on the packaging. Nasal strips are typically used at night, but if your runny nose is especially bad, you can use them during the day as well. Check the aisles in your drugstore for a decongestant medicine, typically pills, that will shrink and dry up your nasal passages. This can be a big help when you’re trying to get rid of a stuffy or runny nose. Check the packaging to see how often you can take the medicine. Only use a decongestant for a 2-3 days. If overused, decongestants can cause congestion to return even more severely. If you think your runny nose might be caused by allergies, get an antihistamine product at your drugstore to ease symptoms. Take it as directed on the packaging, and read the side effects carefully as well—some antihistamines can make you drowsy. Common antihistamines include Benadryl, Zyrtec, and Allegra.
