Brief Answer:
Antiallergic drops need to be given

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections. Running nose is usually due to allergic cause which is often associated with such infections. Giving some antiallergic drops like Atarax Drops 0.5 ml thrice daily should provide relief. However, irrespective of treatment it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days.Use Nasoclear Saline Nasal Drops in case of nose block.

Feel free to write back.
