Watery discharge from my nostrils

2024-07-10 18:54:17
I have developed this strange habit recently out of fear of N Fowleri. Whenever, I drink water I get a strange urge to blow my nose gently, else I feel if any water droplets that may have deposited on my moutache or near nostrils will get sucked in my nose when I breathe in, inhale a bit deeply by mistake or sneeze. So, after drinking I tend to blow my nostrils one by one gently or moderately but to my surprise watery droplets come out of my nostrils. Is that the water from my throat and mouth left after drinking that came out of my nose? Can it go or would have gone to my upper nasal passages or near the olfactory nerves to cause N Fowleri infection. Can I get infected this way? I am very tensed and scared especially after I read that a boy recently died of N Fowleri in Kozhikode city in Kerala. Please guide me.
