Hello,
It can be viral rhinitis mostly caused by adeno or rhinoviruses. It is a self-limiting disease and in most cases, it will settle by itself without any complications.
You can try antihistamines like Cetirizine for symptomatic relief. If you have nose stuffiness, nasal decongestant drops like xylometazoline may be tried.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
