I Got Dirty Bath Water Up My Nose, Should I
Question: I got dirty bath water up my nose, should I be worried? What should I do?
Brief Answer:
No need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using Ask a Doctor. There's no need to worry about this. Anything in the dirty bath water will be filtered by your nasal passages and sinuses, and eventually drain from the nose or down the back of the throat into your stomach. Everyday you breathe in similarly dirty air, with all sorts of toxic substances, but your body does a good job of protecting you from them, and it will do the same for this dirty water.
I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any questions about any of that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
