use lots of tissue papper.and blow your nose often.
You can also stop a runny nose by drinking lots of water. Don't rub it really hard because it might make your nose start to bleed, and also if you have rubbed your nose a lot, the next time you sneeze, it will start to sting. Blow your nose often and if you're allergic to dust, make sure there is nothing dusty or sandy in your room. It also sometimes helps if you go to sleep with 2 pillows, one on top of the other. I hope this works!
I found that if you blow your nose and wipe it dry, then immediately smear a little vaseline around your nose this will stop it being runny and will last up to an hour or until you feel the urge to blow again. It work especially well when struggling to get to sleep because of those sniffles!

Taigawhat I did when i had a really bad cold is:
1. fill a bowl with water
2. put salt in the water
3. mix till salt disappears
4. drink water through your nose until it comes out your mouth
5. spit water out because the salt isn't good
6. repeat this until your nose stops running
7. really works!
To Avoid Drowning:
You can get the same results by using saline nasal spray OTC at pharmacies (and it doesn't have to come out of your mouth).
An even better method is to use a Netti Pot to do nasal irrigation with solutions that come with it, or mix your own saline (mildly salty water). They are also available at pharmacies with instructions for use.
If your nose is running because of the flu or cold, you can get a nose spray or pills over the counter that will dry up the mucus and decrease the inflammation in your nose. Ask your local pharmacist to show you some options for these medications. Don't use sprays for more than a couple of days since they can make your nose worse rather than better after that.
