Water dripping from right nostril

2018-02-27 11:24:13
Most of the times when I bend my head down i.e. towards the floor for a minute or two, water starts dripping from my nose. This happens mostly when I wash my hair in that way. I'm afraid if that's a serious issue or something normal. It's not because of any cold that I'm suffering from and I have noticed since sometimes that waters drips from my right nostril only. Please help
