Hi
Welcome to healthcare-magic
greetings of the day

Its quite common to see upper respiratory tract infection in infants especially runny nose.
It could be due to dust mite in the pillow and bedsheets.
Thoroughly washing hem in hot water will be helpful.
Also rule out possibility of allergic rhinitis.

Take Care

Best Regards
