Not related : The back of the nose connects with the sinuses and throat. Salt water sniffing is not uncommonly used to help clear sinuses. If you are worried that you could have damaged anything inside your head then don't as it would be unlikely that you would come to any harm. Probably best not to do it again though!

Explanation : This is not really good to snore dry powder, because it may injured nasal mucosa and sinuses. Please, buy OTC normal saline for nasal washing and follow the directions. It should help.
