Thanks for your question facial steam/hot shower, humidifier or warm compress will help a runny nose. However, if the runny nose is due to sinus congestion then a nasal saline spray, very spicy food or hot tea will help break up the congestion. If its due to allergies or infection be sure to see your primary care provider or go to a minute clinic or walk in clinic. It the problem worsens go to your nearest emergency room. Last but not least always plenty drink water to stay hydrated. I pray you feel better soon and feel free to send me an update
