My son 7 months old he is having runny nose specially when he cries for the past three days also he try to scratch his right ear most of the time. It feels like he is having some itching in right ear. He never has runny nose before this. I have used nasal drops two times today. But still concerns if he needs to see doctor.

Most runny nose last for one week. I assume that child doesn't have any fever/ cough/ difficulty in breathing. You may wait for two days. And still if symptoms are there: then see a doctor.
