HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The persistent runny nose may be due to allergies since you not have any other symptoms.
Allergic rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal passages. It may occur on its own or with inflammation of the sinuses (allergic sinusitis).
The use of oral antihistamines and topical steroid nasal sprays would help. Oral antihistamines may be available over the counter.
The topical nasal sprays may need a prescription.
I hope this helps
