Have Dripping Nose And Headache After Head Injury. What Could It Be?
I have collected drips out if my nose now daily & along with a constant 24/7 headache after head injury for nearly four years I am worrying as the drips are getting more frequent & more in quantity. They also increase with head pain, exercise & straining. Is this csf? It dries with a ring round it, is clear & slightly viscous. No blood.

hello dear,
thanks for your query at health care magic,
dripping from nose after injury and increases on exercise and straining and ring appearence on paper or hand kerchief is csf fluid leak.
this can happen after major head trauma.
if there is any infection your condition can get worse.
get a ct scan brain done that will rule out any problem .
regards.
