What is the fastest way to get rid of a runny nose?

It all depends on what is causing the runny nose. You could use antihistamines.

Anti histamine

Or a drug called actifed (in the uk, don't know what it might be called in the us!) you can get it from a pharmacy.

How do you know what's causing the runny nose?

If it is itchy and runny it is probably an allergy, in which case you need anti histamine. If you have a cold or infection you would probably have other symptoms like headache or soreness or lethargy, so actifed would work better.
