Nose infection risk

2024-09-29 11:52:44
A drop of untreated water fell in my nostril while l was lying in bed and reading. I tried to blow my nose gently to expel it. Can I get N Fowleri infection from the water drop? Can it go to sinuses or the olfactory nerves as it fell in nose while lying? I didn't inhale or breathe in deeply. Please help and advise, very worried.
