Hello. Thanks for your question. You seem to have a cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. This condition occurs due to trauma to the bone separating nasal cavity from brain.( ethmoid bone ). Clinical examination of nose , nasal endoscopy and CT scan of nose and sinuses is required to ascertain the exact cause and further management. I suggest you to consider ENT consultation on an priority basis. Regards.
