Risk from drain water

I was going to market when it started to rain, to take shelter I entered a parking lot in basement of a nearby hospital. My mask was wet so I took it off and also the helmet, just then I realised that there was a grill in the basement and I could hear noise of water gushing in the drainage beneath the grill. It was windy and basement was only half covered so as soon as I took off my mask I had droplets of drizzles on my face and in my nose. I got very scared that accidently the water from the drain might have also gone in my nose and I was breathing it on wearing the mask again. It wasn't raining very heavily but drizzling. Can droplets from drain flying in the air, or splashing in nose due to winds cause N Fowleri infection if we breathe in accidently or inhale? I didn't inhale aggressively like when we do Yoga or exercise, I just breathed normally or a bit more when wearing the mask again.

Concern about drain water

If water droplets from drain or sewage splashes in the nose due to heavy winds or along with rain when they fall and rebound from the open drains can one get N Fowleri infection while inhaling or breathing in the same? Here most drains are uncovered and during heavy rains and winds the water from them either rebounds or due to heavy winds it flies in air like drizzles or water droplets. I am very anxious since I came to know of this rare infection.

Query about infection risk

Can you get N Fowleri infection if you have water in your mouth and you breathe in or blow your nose gently? Does the water travel to upper regions of nasal cavity and the olfactory nerves this way? The water we use here in our native place is not chlorinated and is drawn from own underground water connection from like 110-120 feet below using a Jet motor pump and stored in Overhead tank kept on terrace. It is summer and so am worried after reading about it.

I have a bad throat right now. I've been experiencing pain while swallowing food and even while drinking water. I've never had tonsils in my life before. What should I do? Because of my throat I was also getting fever though the temp remained around 99-100. Now the fever has subsided but the pain while swallowing is still there and my throat is bad. Please help.

Worry about water entering nose

Why while brushing teeth sometimes when I have water in my mouth and when I look up or just while breathing I feel as if water is going up my nose. Can water actually go up the nose to deeper areas when we breathe in and out normally, I mean not aggressively? I am worried about N Fowleri infection. Can a few drops in the nostrils that may splash on gargling go up the nose while breathing?
