When I do a sinus rinse, is it normal for the water to come out of my eye?

Yes, it is normal for water to come out of your eye when you do a sinus rinse. This can happen because there is a small canal connecting the corner of your eye to your nose, which can allow water to flow through. This same canal can also be responsible for mucus coming out of your eye during a bad cold. As long as you are using the sinus rinse properly, there is no need to worry about this occurrence.
