Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are dealing with a condition known as CSF rhinorrhea, the salty liquid that coming from your nose may be CSF (Cerebro spinal fluid) lining your brain. It might be due to some fractures or defect in your facial bones. Consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated. You might require a CT scan for detailed evaluation. The gall stones and pain killers doesn't have any relation with this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
