Nose infection concern
My brother had taken bath. After 5 mins when I went in bathroom I felt droplets or wetness in my nose. Maybe as the bathroom was all wet and water droplets or aerosol was still in the air in bathroom. I was in bathroom for 2 mins. Could the water droplets or aerosol that I felt going inside my nose reach the deeper areas of my nasal passages like the sinuses or the olfactory nose? Especially since I kept blowing my nose to expel the drops while I was using the bathroom? Could I get N Fowleri infection?
I am grateful to some wonderful doctors who reply and I am able to brave fear most of time. Please clarify this issue too.
