Suggest Remedy For CSF Rhinorrhe
Question: Hello Doctor,
Yesterday evening while playing football I was hit by other team mate on right side of my face. After that incidence for 5-10 second I had clear fluid coming out of my nose and it stopped. After pay when I bend again the clear fluid came out of nose and it stopped. Then same thing happened when I went to sleep and fluid was leaking out of my nose if I sleep turning left side. Almost my handkerchief was wet. Today morning also very little fluid was observed. Also I could feel little dry in my throat and little change in pressure in my ears. Is it something serious to worry about?
Thanks for your response.
