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

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.

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.
