Posted on Thu, 11 May 2017

Question: Hi there, i have the flu or the cold and i keep coughing and sneezing and ive looked up my symptoms last night cause i had a liquid like tears, salty and all leaking out of my nose and it came up with CSF or something like that and i looked at the symptoms which 4 was similar to what i had which was headaches when i sat up, vomiting, double sight and blurry. I was just wondering how serious it is and if i should go to the hospital? At the moment in my head it feels like a slight pressure on my brain

Brief Answer:
No hospital visit is necessary at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for contacting us at healthcare magic.

It is unlikely that you have leaked CSF from severe coughing. You probably have an infection of the upper respiratory tract. I will suggest that you stay calm and monitor only. Try to cough and sneeze less forcefully. Watery eyes and nostrils and headaches are more inline with cluster headaches. Tylenol alone is okay and kindly update me within 24 hours.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be

ended in hospital with having a drip with fluids, CXR, blood tests, urine tests, paracetamol and another tablet, and an injection in my arm as the doctor has ruled out that i have a viral rasperatory infection
