Poor guy.  I usually give my girls benadryl or mucinex and that does the trick.  Hope he is feeling better!

only for a little bit, it runs all day long. I'm surprised his nose isn't all red from the tissues

My daughter is three years old, her nose ran since she was a week old. No allergy meds worked, had a scratch test done a month ago (pain less), come to find out shes allergic to dust mights! I would see an allergist!

 1 teaspoon of local honey everyday is said to help develop an immunity to allergies.

ill get some (i need it myself since i have bad hayfever), but it takes time for the immunity to build. until then we need something to help with the ever flowing nose of his
