السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. While fasting today I had a runny nose and throat pain. I avoided gargling salt water fearing I might swallow it. Instead I inhaled steam from hot salt water through my nose and mouth, covering my head with a cloth for relief. Does this affect my fast?

Your fast is okay, but don't do this again.
