Now listen carefully THIS CONDITION IS VERY RARE and it is much more likely to be something else, so the advice is rest rest and more rest, drink a normal intake of fluid and a good diet, we are not doctors I speak form personal experience of a CSF leak but if you have the above symptoms please talk to your doctor

vini,
thank you for the information.
actually, the drainage from my nose has always been thin, clear and salty. it was pretty constant too, and was made worse by headaches. nothing like i've ever experienced before from a cold. I was especially worried in the days after my injury when I had a metallic and almost blood-like taste in my mouth (gross, sorry!). I tried to tell this to my doctor in the ER, but he nearly laughed and said "EVERYONE gets allergies this time of year"! I've never had allergies, and it was April when I had my injury.. I had absolutely NO allergy symptoms prior (for some reason no doctor wants to listen to this fact?)
would a CSF leakage show up on my CT or MRI? it's been quite a while since my injury.. my headaches are really mild, and I can feel a bit of liquid in my right nostril now but no serious drainage.
should I see a doctor again, and if so, should I go to a neurologist or my primary?
