What Causes Watery Nasal Discharge From Sinus Indicate?
hello. something strange happened today. when I lower my head there is a leak from one hole of my nose. it s kind of watery liquid, no thick at all, similar to tears. i didn t have any head injuries. yesterday bit of headache. i read about csf leak and i m bit worried. i also feel like i have some hole in sinus. please help.
Watery nasal discharge can be due to localized discharge or due to CSF leakage called CSF rhinorrhea. I suggest you to get the nasal discharge tested for beta transferrin. Presence of beta transferring is seen in CSF rhinorrhea else the condition is due to localized nasal discharge.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
