Hi,
With CSF rhinorrhoea there is risk of infection tracking up into the meninges (brain outer layer), causing a severe, possibly fatal infection known as meningitis.
I would advise that your mother is taken to the hospital and treated appropriately for it, including antibiotic cover.
Do take care of her!
