Csf leak is needs to treated surgically. It can lead to meningitis (brain fever) which is a life threatening condition. Homeopathy has no role in managing csf leaks. Nowadays endoscopic csf leak closure procedures are very non invasive and are very effective. You need to consult nearby endoscopic skull base surgeon for more information
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist who is trained in endoscopic skull base surgery for more about the surgery and it's outcomes
