Could occasional watery discharge be CSF with nasal polyps?

Patient's Query

I have a watery discharge from my right nostril once in 3,4 months…not always and it is not constant also..I have nasal polyps too..can the leaking be csf??I heard it is constant..mine happens only once in 3 or 4 months…

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Many people notice a watery discharge and worry it might be cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but it’s not always the case. Sometimes, blowing your nose can cause this. Keep an eye on any new symptoms or changes, and if you're concerned, it's best to see an ENT specialist for a check-up.

I am suffering from inner ear inflammation, acute peripheral vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, ringing in the left ear (tinnitus), ringing gets louder with loud noises and when I speak and I cannot hear clearly because of the sharp ringing. This is happening since one month. I am consulting a senior ent and am under medication. I am having vertin 16 mg since 11 days and tinnex for my tinnitus since 16 days. Before that I was on stemetil for 10 days and defcort for 5 days. My imbalance and dizziness is a little better but keeps fluctuating. I am not completely balanced, when I walk and turn my head I feel dizzy and imbalanced. My ringing is still the same. I am taking my tablets regularly as prescribed, doing exercises, drinking enough water, eating well, going everyday for brisk walks. MRI of my brain, inner ear and cervical spine is normal. My immettance audiometry test was normal. Why is it taking so long to get alright with not so much improvement. I am a healthy individual. Please tell me by when will I be completely alright, fine and normal. Thank you.

My uvula has elongated into my throat after I woke up from sleep this morning about 2hrs ago. It's making swallowing a bit unconfortable. My breathing is fine for now and it's not painful for now. I've gargled with salty warm water.

Male | 29

Concerns about an elongated uvula are understandable and can be caused by factors such as dehydration, allergies, or inflammation. Considering you are merely feeling a little weirdness while swallowing but breathing is okay, it may not be a life-threatening event. Saltwater gargling is the first step to getting relief. Alongside that, drinking water is just as important. When things get worse, or you face such a problem as shortness of breath, and increased pain, please consult an ENT specialist.

I'm having nasal congestion, and there is swelling on septum wall deep in nose become of allergy

Male | 24

You appear to be coping with nasal congestion and your nose is swollen due to allergies. A situation when your body reacts to things like pollen and dust may cause your nose to feel stuffy, while the inside of your nose may get swollen. This may block the airways, thus making it difficult to breathe. You can try saline nasal spray to clear your nose and avoid things that trigger your allergies. If it continues, you should visit an allergist who will assist you in finding a suitable treatment for your allergies.

I have excess ear wax which has hardened like stone.

Female | 27

Built-up ear plug can create an issue of a feeling of being uncomfortable, a reduction in one’s hearing ability, or the illusion of fullness in the ear. Mainly, it is the misuse of cleaning methods and anatomy of the jeopardized narrow ear canals. The other reason might be a skin disorder. To dissolve the wax that has become firm, try mineral oil- or saline solution-based, over-the-counter drops. To prevent earwax from being pushed deeper inside, do not use cotton swabs. If the healing process at home is ineffective or you are in pain when doing it, it is recommended to see a doctor.
