Chronic rihnnoisis sound more possible than csf leak even with slight head trams with a drip and ear acting up with fluid?

Why CSF Leak?: Why do you think you might have a CSF leak? Have you hit your head? If you have a reason to think that you have a CSF leak, the first thing to determine is if that is true or not with a CT or MRI. If you have no reason, then allergic rhinitis is more likely, and try an antihistamine and reducing environmental irritants/allergens, like fragrances, smoke, dust, etc. If that does not work see MD.
