Brief Answer:
Due to low immunity
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Most often runny nose is due to an allergic reaction but is usually associated with a viral infection. Some children are more prone to catching cold and have a lower immunity. You need to give him Montair LC [Monteleukast + levocetirizine][prescription medicine] off and on during such episodes.
Be sure to feed him colorful fruits and vegetables daily. They contain antioxidants and should help in boosting the immunity.
