7 Year Old Runny Nose

I am looking for some suggestions on OTC items or remedies to help my 7 year old's runny nose. It seems like he has had a runny nose for years. I have asked his doctor about it and he just seems to think that its nothing and it will go away. Well it doesn't, it's not infected just runny. He is tired of blowing it and wiping it and I am tired of always telling him to take of his nose! Help, any suggestions on what works best?!?

Another boy in her class has hives with a low grade...
