What Causes Foul Discharge From The Nose?
My dad has bad teeth, broken and falling out, they have been hurting really bad this last week. Now the pain has gone, but anytime he bends forward just a little, he has a foul smelling drip coming from his nose. How serious has this problem become? And what can he do?

hello
This can be serious as it is likely that the fluid may be csf leaking from the cranial cavity and this can lead to serious infection, please dont ignore this and meet your ent doctor as soon as possible.
Take care
