Hi is it associated with headache? Any history of trauma or previous nose surgery done? Is it sticky in nature ? If it's increasing  please get tested for B2 transferrin level also you can send nasal fluid for CSF analysis Thank you

Let it drip onto a white handkerchief. Let it dry. If the dried area is stiff as if cloth has been starched, it is CSF Rhinorrhea. This requires surgery after a Contrast enhanced CT scan of your nose and paranasal sinuses to identify the breach/leak. If not CSF rhinorrhea, could be fungal sinusitis. Either way, you need to meet a good ENT Surgeon asap.

You need to exclude CSF Rhinorrhoea. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea occurs when there is a fistula between the dura and the skull base and discharge of CSF from the nose. CSF rhinorrhea or liquorrhoea commonly occurs following head trauma (fronto-basal skull fractures), as a result of intracranial surgery, or destruction lesions.
