jean is on the phone now hi Jean hi
higher so nose problems yes for the last
eight months
clear water dripping from my nails and
I've seen drops and they've given me
several sprays and they don't work he
referred me to a surgeon and then the
surgery called me and said that the
surgeon asked me to use becca knees and
atrovent twice a day and using these
five times a day I find it's worse when
I eat is now referred me back to the
surgeon but that is only in the new year
and I've added live come the internet
and it says it could be brain fluid and
I'm very worried okay all right let's
see what I like to say the most likely
thing here is that it's called allergic
rhinitis so that's when you've got
inflammation if you're lining of your
nose because of an allergy and that's
the most likely thing to call such a
persistent one and the most common
allergen is house dust mite which is so
notoriously difficult to get rid of
because we have dust everywhere
obviously trying things like changing
your bedding pillows vacuuming loads may
help but you may also want to consider
skin prick testing to see whether you
are specifically allergic to that now
the the sprays that you've been given
should help it but you may also want to
try an antihistamine
now I know your main warriors about this
brain fluid that's called CSF and it
lines our brain and our brain and our
spinal cord kind of sit in it and
outside of that there is a thin lining
called the dura now it's if the juror
and the bone get a hole in it that your
brain fluid can drip out your nose now
it's really rare to have that
spontaneously happen usually upon me
usually you'd need to have a head injury
to caused that so it's so unlikely but
there's a really quick test that your GP
can do to tell you whether it is
that or not so your brain fluid has
glucose in it sugar where is the nasal
discharge wouldn't so all your GP needs
to do is test it with the glucose stick
if there's sugar then it's CSF this
brain fluid and you need to be seen by a
neurosurgeon if it doesn't have sugar
you can wait till your January
appointment they go that's a quick thing
for you yeah good luck with that dude
