What Is The Fluid Leak From Ear In A Sinus Patient?

Hi, sometimes like 2-3 times a month I experience something quite strange. When I lie in my left side in bed, I get a gush of liquid on my left part of my head that I don't know where it comes from. I think it is my ear but I have no pain. I feel weird because my hair gets wet in the side and I sometimes feel the liquid dripping down my neck. I hope it is somekind of recurring inner ear infection rather than cerebral fluid! I have some headaches, not heavy ones but very regular, some dizziness. I also have problem with my sinus. What can this be?

watery discharge from ear may be csf otorrhea. Do you had a head injury recently. Please consult a ent specialist and do laboratory investigation of that fluid coming out of your ear.
If not csf then nothing much to worry. may be treated with antibiotics and steroid nasal spray
wish you a speedy recovery.
