Concern regarding nose

2022-06-21 01:38:17
I breathed in or sniffed a few drops of water while washing mouth. Can it reach up the sinus or brain? Didn't do it aggressively but mildly by mistake. I tried to blow the water out by blowing my nose several times. Can blowing nose actually cause the water to go up to the point where one can get N Fowleri infection?

No nothing like that can happen unitil you are experiencing any symptoms.Please don't blow your nose repeatedly as it might start nasal bleed.

Water can definitely reach sinus but not brain. No infection of N Fowleri
