I'm a fan of chlorphenamine as an antihistamine that effectively balances effectiveness and side effects; it will help stop the runny nose. If you need something to dry you out, you can't beat pseudoephedrine (the real thing, not its terrible replacement phenylephrine). If you need pain relief, I'd go with naproxen because it's the easiest of the NSAIDs on your liver, assuming you're not prone to ulcers. Just my $0.02.
