Have you ever done a sinus rinse and had the water come out your eye?
I did that today.

Three weeks ago I got kicked in the face by my horse which broke a bunch of bones in my face, including 2 in my sinuses. Naturally this weekend I got a killer head cold. My doc told me to do sinus rinses instead of blowing my nose (because if I blow my nose too much, I can end up with a detached retina since 2 of the other breaks are in my eye socket).

So I did the first one and the water went into my sinus and out through my eye.

It was pretty cool. Just thought I'd share. :P

7. In such instance I suggest you continue and flush thoroughly so that
you don't move the infection into your lacrimal ducts or your eyes.

8. Ew, ew, ew, but it makes sense.
I had a friend who had to have his face rebuilt and weird sinus stuff was par for the course.

I guess it's snot as bad as it sounds. :P

9. No but I've held my nose closed and tried to blow air out it to pressurize while scuba diving and
had tons of air come out my tear ducts.

11. My mom did one better
She got a nose bleed bad enough to require a hospital visit. They packed her nose, and it started squirting out her eye. That was when they decided to cauterize things.

15. Yes, natural duct
I have had that happen. I started doing my rinses in the shower, they could be such a mess. Make sure you are getting enough vitamin C and Zinc for your cold too. And Ouch, take care and stop pissing off your horse.
