This morning when I went out to feed our piglets, I noticed one had a white runny discharge from her nose. No diarreaha, no cough, eating fine, plenty of energy. After a few minutes, she had wiped it all off by rooting around, and it didn't come back...that I could see. This evening she looked fine. Don't mean to be a worry wart, but if this comes back in the morning, what should I do?:hu

I would start with checking her temp.

Other things to consider. Have you put in any new bedding, is their area dry/dusty/ has she been rooting a lot lately? She could have just snorked something up her nose and a runny nose is the body's response to that. Usually it is just clear but I don't usually worry until I see yellow/green or it's going on for a couple days.
