Runny nose for 3 weeks

Probably a really minor thing but definitely annoying, has anyone ever had a runny nose lasting almost a month? Started out with a flu type illness, coughing, sneezing feeling generally weak but I feel completely fine now but the runny nose won't stop, it's like a tap constant and I'm wondering why it has not gone, I've used otc meds etc but it's just not shifting! Is it a weather thing? Never had a cold last this long

It could be one of two things;
Either sinusitis, which requires antibiotics to shift or an allergy to airborne particles (dust, fumes or pet dander).
I'd be inclined to book a GP appointment to discuss.
Good luck 👍

See I thought maybe it could be that but I literally feel fine, I have no other symptoms except a cold no pain in my face, no fever just an annoying runny nose

It's probably an allergy then.
Sinusitis usually results in headaches and pain as well as a constantly runny nose.
