Sorry. Wipe his nose with a damp rag and them with a drie one. IF hes in a damp place that could be the problem put him in a warm area(but not the sun) and that should help. You should also call a vet and ask them. GOOD LUCK!
Email me at cowgirl_rock@hotmail.com and tell me what happens please.

Sorry, but you should bring him to the vet NOW. If you waste time by "trying other ways," your sweet little hamster could waste away, and his cold/viral infection or whatever it is could become seriously worse. If you keep on trying home remedies, by the time you bring him to the vet, it will be TOO LATE.
Until you schedule an appointment, give him extra warm, dry bedding, make sure that his cage is well aerated, but not in any drafts. Try to keep him in a warm room, and make sure he keeps eating in drinking. Do this, but, still, TAKE HIM TO THE VET!!!

OK relax.
First of all hamsters are lactose intolerat.
Hamsters can catch colds too so it could be that. There is probably no other way I knew this girl who's hamster died from a cold so please take it to the vet.
Make an appointment ASAP keep them warm woth fresh Carefresh bedding, clean unscented toilet paper and away from any cold places/drafts. Please get help from a vet! There is no stuff at stores or remidies the vet has stuff so hurry!!!
I wish you and your hamster lots of luck. *
