What is Runny Nose:

A runny nose is a very common and annoying problem. It occurs when there is increased mucus in the sinus and nasal passages. The increased mucus production is the body's way of flushing cold or flu viruses, irritants and allergens out of the body.

Runny nose is excess drainage, which may range from a clear fluid to thick mucus, produced by the nasal and adjacent tissues and blood vessels in the nose. The drainage of runny nose may run out of your nose or down the back of your throat or both. Here are some symptoms causes and remedies for how to stop runny nose.
