Nose leaking clear fluid out of one nostril more than a month after rhinoplasty.

softhrowaway
Hello! I had a rhinoplasty on July 15, 2016 for a bump on my nose. No bones were broken, just the bumps were shaved, tip was made smaller and a muscle between my lip and nose was sniped. My only problem is, I still am getting constant headaches everyday, usually ones inbetween my eyes. Recently, my eyes have been sensitive to light as well. I also felt like I had allergies, but one nostril has been leaking clear fluid for the past few days. It is always very runny. is this a CSF leak?
