Nose Wont Stop Discharging Water Like Substance. Posted: 01-26-06 01:18am
My friends nose just wont stop "leaking"
not blood, or snot, but a water like
substance, didnt ask about a salt taste or
anything, but does anyone have a possible
answer of what this could be? And
hopefully a solution?
Thanks alot :)

I just joined when I saw this thread--i
know it's been a month, but i'm hoping
you're still checking this one!
I'm no doctor, and i'm no ent expert, but
I have read about this before. Have your
friend test the texture of this substance
by letting some drip onto a white paper
napkin. If the napkin dries, and there
is no evidence anything was on it (just
like if it had only been water), he needs
to go to the doctor right away!!! (if he
hasn't already, since it's been awhile.)
not saying it is serious, but there is a
serious condition with these symptoms, and
he'll want to rule it out right away. I
forget the exact name, but it involves the
leakage of cerebro-spinal fluid. The
stuff is water-like, tasteless (i
believe), and usually it doesn't stop on
its own. I'm not sure if there are any
other symptoms like dizziness.
Don't mean to scare, like I said--i've
only read about this and thought you
should know so your friend can get it
checked out!
