When you have a runny nose it's likely caused by irritants in the nose or due to a cold virus.

If the runny nose is caused by irritants in your nose then using a saline solution such as in a Neti Pot to flush out the irritants in your nose and nasal passages can sometimes stop the runny nose.

If the runny nose is caused by allergies to something then you'll need to take some allergy medicine or nasal spray to get rid of the runny nose due to the allergies.

Taking a steamy shower or using a humidifier in your room can also help stop a runny nose and add moisture to your nose and lungs which also helps with congestion.

Eating some spicy foods can help get your nose running more and flush out all that mucus in your nose so it eventually stops.

If the runny nose is caused by a cold virus then it should go away within a few days or so or when the cold virus is gone.

If it's not due to a cold virus then it could be allergies and I would tell the doctor about it to get tested for allergies.

Also stay hydrated as staying hydrated can help prevent a runny nose and also you could stick some tissues in your nostrils which is what I do sometimes when I have a runny nose.
