What Causes Dripping Of Fluid From Nose?

My husband had a seisure, 2 mini strokes, brain clot and then bleeding in the brain 7 months ago. It was his left side affeted however he recovered very well. Still a mystery circumstances. However, I notcied during his stroke his nose dripping clear fluid and this continued for a a couple of weeks. He has started being more active, too much I'm afraid and now hes leaking clear fluid from the left nostril constantly. I'm concerned this is a warning sign to to over do it?

One of the worries with clear fluid is that there is a leak of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) coming from the base of the skull.

Certainly, it is worth getting this further evaluated with an ENT doctor for further testing.
