Clear Liquid Discharge From Nose. Water Polo Athlete. Worry?
I am a former women's water polo athlete and since I was about 15 I would get a clear tear like liquid that would drip from my nose no pain just weird. It seems to happen often I used to think maybe it was pool water or sumthin but it still happens and I'm 20 and I did play college water polo but I quit about 6months ago and it still happens should I be worried?
Hello, There should not be any clear fluid dripping from the nose specially from one side only. You must get an ENT consultation done and get done --- Examination chemical analysis for sugar and protein of the fluid which drips down MR Cisternography to see for the fluid
It could be nasal discharge --but chances are less.if there is no cold and the fluid is watery Another possibility is Cerebrospinal fluid which is protective fluid around brain , and this should not drip, so you need to get it ruled out.
