== == == == Typically a cold or flu will be gone in 7 to 10 days, so if it has been runny for a month, there could be some other problem involved such as an allergy, irritation (e.g., from pollution or pollen), or even a sinus infection.
If you don't have a fever and if the drainage is clear, there are some over the counter remedies you might try, such as antihistamines, which may work to relieve the symptoms if the problem is Allergies. If you know that there is a lot of pollen dust or other particles in the air, irritation by those could be causing the runny nose and then you might try a nasal saline spray. This just works to clear the sinuses and nose of those particles. The spray bottles are convenient, it feels soothing on your nasal tissues and is easy to use just following the label directions.
Another way to clear your nose and sinuses is with the use of a Neti Pot. These act in the same way as a saline nasal spray but allow an irrigation with more liquids (and some come with packets of medication to mix in the water). Anyone that I have known who has used one says they wish they had known about them sooner.
But if you have an infection, you should seek medical advice and treatment. Indications of infection include fever, thickened and yellow nasal drainage, sinus discomfort, and persistent or severe headaches. If I had an infection, or symptoms that didn't improve with the use of the over the counter remedies for several days, then I would go to my doctor to get advice from him. There are some very affective prescription medications a medical professional can prescribe.
