Brief Answer:
flonase

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are bothered by a runny nose. You can contribute this to either new onset allergies or a summer cold. I would recommend that you try the flonase first. This can help stem the flow without having to use oral medications. If this does not work then trying claritin D which has a decongestant will definitely help stop the runny nose. If that does not work then last option is a nasal decongestant spray like afrin

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
