When you blow your nose, especially if you tend to give it a good honk, you can aggravate it even more. There are many tiny blood vessels in the nostrils that dilate and, thus, contribute to a runny nose. The action of blowing the nose will lead to further dilation of the blood vessels and... more running of the nose.
Instead of blowing, hold a tissue under your nose to "catch" what's running out. It may seem less effective at first, but your nose may begin to dry up with this gentle treatment. Some other things that help to "clear out" a runny or stuffed nose are: steaming over a pot of boiling water, sitting in a steam room, eating hot and spicy foods, running or exercising outside or my favourite, sex!

Ask a pharmacist at your local chemist, then you can buy the product at the same time.
Also avoid dairy until cold is over as it produces mucus in the body. If no mucus, then no dripping nose.

There doesn't seem to be a natural cure as the body is trying to rid itself of germs and toxins, but if you want to try medication you can always try an antihistamine, or a cold medication.

get tissue and gently stuff it in both nostrils.Not to hard in and to far in.Cause they might get stuck.
But im sure you wont be an idiot and just stuff them in regardless of what might happen.
