She's a year old lab mix. She only gets it in cold/chilly weather, so the vet said she probably had a slight cold and gave her antibiotics. Well, we finished the round of antibiotics about 3 weeks ago and it is still happening every single time we are in like 60° Fahrenheit or below weather. Below is a pic, but she's only got it a little right here, there's been many times where she's got much more running down. At this point, I'm thinking allergies, but this doesn't happen in warm weather or indoors. I do have a cousin that's actually allergic to cold weather, could it be the same with my pup?

White, foamy discharge from nose

Eek.

I'd see another vet.
Her foreface looks literally swollen to me - the bridge of her nose is slightly convex behind her nostrils, a Roman-nosed tendency, & there appears to be a rounded lump above her left upper-flew, behind that whisker bed.
Her whiskers are relaxed, not FLEXED, so there's no way she's wrinkling a lip - there's a low rounded dome, under the skin.
Culturing a sample of the discharge from her nose might reveal a possible microbe - but as she's had antibiotics already [once? twice?...] they may not be able to tease out the culprit, as the popns & ratios of various "bugs" has been altered by the meds.
That doesn't seem normal to me; neither Ur description, nor what I can see in the photo.
I'd be concerned - & the vet sounds quite blase' about it.

Oh I see where you mean on the lip, I'm checking it out on her and I think that may have been a light effect, because I can't feel any swelling there, but I uploaded a couple more pics to ask you if you still notice anything weird there. The one where she's smelling the ground is a good one of the discharge, it's very white and foamy. Not a very good pic but it was the best I could do because she's constantly licking it off so I kept missing it. Thank you for your input. I think I will take her to a different vet.

Yep. Still there.
.
yes, she still has a rising curve in the outline of her foreface, in profile -
it's not pronounced, but it's convex rather than straight & tapering.
I'd def want a 2nd opinion - & i'd ask how much a culture would cost, too.
