Hi, The nasal discharge might be from maxillary sinus and other sinuses in nose. If you had a history of head injury with fracture the possibility of CSF is there. Very occasionally Olfactory dehiscence causes csf leakage. Ypou meet ypour ENT dr He will check clinically, radiologically, Nasal endoscopically, CT with contrast if required. Simple test collect the discharge in a white hanky, if there is halo kind of discolouration with smoothness feeling of cloth indicates it is CSF. If it is stiff then its mucosal discharge.Take care
