A cold with a runny nose may take time to resolve, especially if caused by an allergy or a viral infection. Allegra helps control allergy symptoms but may not give immediate relief. Continue supportive care such as steam inhalation, warm fluids, and adequate rest. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist beyond one to two weeks or worsen.
