What Seems Wrong Transparent Salty Kind Water Like Something Oozes Out From My Right Nostril,quantity Is Less ?
Question: Hello Doctor, since months now i am noticing that whenever i bend straight down while standing especially , transparent salty kind water like something oozes out from my right nostril,quantity is less and its more like as if i got runny nose which obviously not there, it happens only from one nostril- right one. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. No other issues are there along with it and it doesn't even happen while lying down and sleeping. What seems wrong with me doctor?

Detailed Answer:
Hii. Welcome to the healthcare services. It can be Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea or allergic rhinitis. If you are having allergic nose symptoms like sneezing, watering from nose then it's allergic rhinitis or inflammation of nose.
But if you are having no allergic nose symptoms and you are having watering from nose while bending forward then it's most likely cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. Collect the fluid in a tube and sent to microbiology laboratory to check the value of beta 2 transferrin and sugar in the fluid. If it more than 1.2 then it's most likely CSF or cerebrospinal fluid.
CSF leakage can happen if you had any trauma in the head or surgery in the nose or brain or if there is any bacterial infection. Do also a CT brain cisternography. Review with the reports. Take proper bed rest for next 1 week. Do not move or bend head forwards. Don't strain. Take laxatives for stool. Don't lift heavy weight.
Visit an ent surgeon and start injection ceftriaxone. You may also need a nasal endoscopy along with CT or MRI brain. In most cases it will heal spontaneously by conservative management,few patients need surgery. Please review if you have any queries.

Thanks for your great advice and explanation doctor ??. Speaking of allergy, i do not have allergic nose symptoms per se though i often get multiple sneeze at times and i do suffer from Persistent Post nasal drip, its been there since years now, also several months back i took an total IgE blood test, its value was around 880. So i am not sure if that specific allergic parameters and PND is related to my present symptoms or not ??
