How would i know if i had a csf leak its been 6 weeks i've just had a constant drip but i had mono during that time?

Assess drainage: If you are concerned about CSF leaking from your nose, go to the ER where they can analyze the fluid. CSF contains glucose and the drainage from a cold does not. CSF draining from your nose can be dangerous and a leak in this area can cause meningitis. This is an emergency.
