Here's a bizarre thing.

A.. er... 'friend' of mine reports that when she bends down low, copious amounts of a clear, watery fluid escapes from her nose. Now it's not snot in the normal sense, nor does she feel as though it's being vomited up, and no, it's nothing sexual, so p!%% off Vixpy before you start ;)

I've seen it happen and it's really weird, quite a rapid flow.

So what's going on?

As an ENT specialist....I require pictures and a hefty fee upfront.


Only kidding...two of those are lies. Can you guess which? That's right children - the square window

Has she been snorting lemonade instead of coke?






Bit warm for a coat, but I'll put it on anyway. Taxi!

I know of someone who had a similar problem a few years ago and it turned out to be a skull fracture. Don't want to scaremonger but I would get to a GP as soon as possible.

I've had a similar thing. It was a sinus infection that didn't want to clear up - it just carried on at a low level for ages.

Sometimes the sinus fluid would drain the other way though. Down the back of the sinus and into the back of the throat

There was an article on the BBC website (I think) a while ago about a boy with a skull fracture. Fluid from the brain was leaking out into his nose so it was always running.

Its probably just sinus fluid but I would get it checked out just in case.
