Fluid from nose
Almost an yr back I adopted a cat and realised i have allergies from cat, took some medication which fixed it but even my stuffy nose problem never went away . Almost have a stuffy nose everytime . Since a few weeks I've noticed when i bend downward or lean my head there's a sudden white clear water like liquid which starts dripping from my nose as soon as i bend, which is not mucus for sure as it's clear like water. Can anyone tell what it is?

Since you are telling about ur allergies it can be due to your allergies. But the other possibility is something called CSF rhinorrhea which is your brain fluid coming out through the nose. But there is nothing in the history to suggest that. It usually happen after a head injury or some sort of nose surgery. But it's better to have it testes

This clear fluid is from one nostril or both? If you have a stuffy it can be allergy but clear fluid from one nostril can be csf also.

Yes it not a major issue to be worried for , it’s Allergic rhinitis & chronic allergy may lead to sinusitis and bronchial asthma - so we have to start with some nasal spray and medications !
