Question:
A person inserted medication into his nose while he was fasting. Does
his fast break?
Answer:
Inserting medication into the nose while fasting invalidates the fast
and qada becomes wajib.
If medication or water goes into the nose, the fast breaks. In the same
way, the fast breaks when medication or water reaches the throat.
Therefore when performing ghusl, a person should not resort to
excessive gargling of the mouth and sniffing of water.1

Allah ta‛ala knows best.
