I drank a glass of water at friends house and sat for like 2 minutes. While drinking a few droplets of water came on my moustache and in my lower nostrils. I wiped my mouth but when I was breathing normally I felt some tiny drops in my nose. I blew my nose slowly twice. Then lied down to sleep but then panic came to me that what have I done. I was lying on a pillow with my head tilted a bit downwards. Can any water that may have been inhaled go to the olfactory nerves and cause infection of N Fowleri when I lied down. I feel like an idiot doing that. Please advise. Can lying down put me at risk as water may possibly reach nasal passages on lying down?
