Terrrible Runny Nose At Night. No Much Help From Motrin Pills. Any Side Effects From Continued Pills?

Ok, well I have a question about runny noses. My nose only runs terribly at night, And it keeps me from sleeping. So my question is why is that?
And I've also been taking Motrin pills before bed but sometimes it doesn't work. And I also would like to know that if I continue taking the Motrin pills for over a month, is that a bad thing? Because over the summer I did that a lot!
Thanks for reading!

Hi,
It seems that you are having allergic rhinitis.
Motrin tablet has no action against runny nose. It is used for having any pain.
You should not take it daily unless it is required.
For runny nose take some decongestant or antihistamine tablet like Cetrizine or Benadryl.
Put some decongestant nasal drops to clear nasal air way.
Ok and take care.
