Constant runny nose can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'troubling' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose constant runny nose, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Adrenal Fatigue | 90% | Confirm |
Liver Congestion | 21% | Unlikely |
Hay Fever | 20% | Unlikely |
Vasomotor Rhinitis | 0% | Ruled out |
Candida / Yeast | 0% | Ruled out |
Dehydration | 0% | Ruled out |
Food Allergies | 0% | Ruled out |
Allergic Tension | 0% | Ruled out |

Studies have confirmed that dehydration triggers histamine production in order to help conserve water. As histamine levels increase, symptoms of seasonal allergies – such as runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes – can develop. [Endocrinology, Volume 136, Issue 5, 1 May 1995, pp.2189-97]
