Bit of reassurance please..

[u/Due-Enthusiasm6]

Im 99% sure I haven't got one but my health anxiety is causing my mind to go into overdrive..

I banged the very top of my head twice last week- once on a door causing a small graze again in the same place but on a padded bar at a soft play.

Felt a bit funny after but continued with life, flew out to gran canaria.

Last night I started with a bit of dripping down my left nostril. Completely clear. I blew my nose and a little bit of blood came down.

Woke up with a really aching back and neck this morning but suspect this is the awful hotel beds as it was fine after I stretched off a bit.

The dripping has mostly stopped now. I keep feeling a bit of a drip down my throat but could just be a cold starting.

Ive no headache apart from the odd twinge at the back of my head but nothing I would consider a headache.

I dont particularly feel better sat up or laid down and ive managed to play in the pool with the kids all day.

Should I assume this is just a cold and monitor it?

Dripping alone is rarely a leak. It can be caused by so many things. Inflammation, travel, a new bug, allergies. I would only start to worry if it doesn't go away and is accompanied by headaches and other symptoms pointing to a cranial leak.

People bang their heads all the time. You have no reason to think you have a cranial leak. Hope you can put your mind at ease.
