A member asked:

What would cause intermittant clear, watery nasal discharge on one side only with no other symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Need to see ENT: When the nasal discharge is clear and unilateral.one needs to rule a fracture in the skull area above the nose especially if there has been a history of head trauma prior to its onset. One may detect whether the fluid is from the brain by testing the discharge itself.
