Have you talked to the doctor about it? My 7 month old daughter had a runny nose for a month and I couldn't figure it out, she seemed perfectly fine otherwise...so I took her in and it's allergies (we all have them) so they put her on Zyrtec and she hasn't had a runny nose since!

I hate those bulbs. The only thing they ever did for my son was make the sensitive skin inside his nose get irritated and enflamed. If he doesn't have a cold, your son may be working on a tooth. You can try a steam humidifier in his room to alleviate some of the runniness. He also may have gotten something stuck in his nose and his body's natural defenses are trying to get it out. If that's a possibility, you probably want to make an appointment with the pediatrician for them to check it out. Good luck!

Try the saline drop that they sell at the drug stores. This may help to loosen the mucus so that you can suck it out with the bulb syringe. Also, a humidifier with liquid Vicks works really well at night and at nap times to loosen the congestion. They also sell Vicks vapor rub for babies and Vicks to add to bath time water. If he is teething - a runny noise is pretty normal!

maybe its not a cold but, allergies, When I took my daughter to her doctor because she had a runny nose he told me it was allergies and gave her benadryl. You should speak to your doctor about it

Let it run. It's annoying, but the best thing....
