In most cases, rhinorrhea (runny nose) and epiphora (excessive tearing) are caused by the common cold. Antihistamines—such as chlorpheniramine and loratadine—are recommended to effectively alleviate these symptoms. Additionally, patients should monitor their body temperature closely; if fever develops, antipyretics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be used to reduce fever.
