6 month old days has a runny nose but doesn't have a fever and is fine.....what can I do/use to help his runny nose?

If it's clear, I don't worry about it (I assumed it's just allergies) and just go through tons of boogy wipes keeping him presentable. There aren't any allergy meds that are safe for infants. If it were green/yellow I would bring him to the doctor.
When he's stuffy I make the bathroom a steam room since a stuffy nose makes it nearly impossible to breastfeed and give ibuprofen in case there is nasal swelling.

Ditto Navy-Mommy - if it's clear and he seems ok I dont worry about it. Just try to keep it suctioned so it doesn't keep running all over his face. And stock up on wipes or kleenex.

My 4-month old is sick too. I use the nose frida and suction his nose before every nap and bedtime, and I use lots of boogie wipes!
