You absolutely need to see a physician soon. How long ago did this happen?
Clear liquid leaking from the nose needs to be checked out ASAP. Also you sound fun but have it checked out now.
PS no idea what’s with the smell tbh. If you were in my ER I’d ask the neurologist. After your CT scan
Could have been a nasal polyp that popped. Still you need to get checked out immediately as clear liquid coming from your nose could also indicate a cerbrospinal fluid leak (that would be bad).
