Water went up the nose

2024-03-23 01:31:38
I was using borewell water to brush my teeth but while gargling and swishing the mouth after brushing water went up my nose through my mouth. That is it got up from my mouth and came out through my nose. I don't know how it happened. My nose was hurting a bit. I blew the water out from my nose. Is this a risk situation for N Fowleri infection? Or it has to go through the nose upwards to cause an infection? Please guide me as I am very anxious.

N Fowleri is a very rare parasite to encounter from bore well sources. Just to be on safer side do Jal Neti to clean your nasal passages. Jal Neti bottle(300ml) and Jal Neti Salt + are both available on Amazon, the links for both are given below. Deal of the day: HANNEA® Neti Pots for Sinus Rinse Bottle Nose Wash Cleaner Pressure Rinse Nasal Irrigation for Adult & Kid BPA Free 300 ML with 10 Nasal Wash Salt Packets and Sticker https://amzn.eu/d/cnCSrsk IS IndoSurgicals Jala Neti Salt Plus, 385 gm (1) https://amzn.eu/d/8gEbWI7
