When do you contact your doctor?
Rhinorrhea can become a severe condition if it is not treated on time. It would help to see a healthcare provider for rhinorrhea if you experience:
- A runny nose only in one nostril
- Nasal discharge after a head injury
- A runny nose that is getting worse, not better
- A fever
- A sore throat that is getting worse
- Mucus that is changing color or that smells bad
- A runny nose along with sneezing and itchy eyes, and you are not aware of specific allergies
- Pain in your sinuses
