Suggest Treatment For Fluid Discharge From The Nose

Hi I fell about two months ago and have a clear fluid coming out of my nose most of the time but not all the time. I get mucus in my throat often which I have to clear. I had hit my nose when I fell. There was blood and clots( a lot) and clear CSF fluid draining after the bleeding stopped. Now I find it difficult to sleep at night and try everything from chamomile tea to homeopathic calms forte. Nothing works. Heat seems to help dry out the the clear watery mucus? I take tumeric, ginger, aloe, neem and noni. Please help Sunila jalota

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think it is CSF leakage due to trauma.
You should consult the doctor immediately as it cause meningitis.
Also do CT scan and chemical analysis of CSF for beta transferrin as it is marker of CSF leakage.


Meanwhile take the following advice:
Take bed rest
Head rise about 15-30 degree.
Decreased excertion, Avoid sneezing, coughing.
Antibiotics; cefuroxime
Diuretics like acetazolamide can be useful

If not responds
Last option is surgery to repair damage.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
