Suggest Treatment For Breathlessness After Accidentally Inhaling Mold Spores
Question: I accidentally inhaled some mold spores, I have asthma, and now I'm having difficulty breathing, a cough and body aches, do I need to see a doctor
Brief Answer:
please do the following treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in HCM
I can understand your concern
According to the history for the breathlessness you can use the Ventoline inhaler every 2 hours and keep monitoring your situation.
Usually in alergic asthmatic patients to the mold this might be serious situation.
If it improves with the passing time ok nothing to worry about if not than you should use the nebuliser with Ventolin for better help of the airways.
If even with the above you are getting worse than you should get medical help.
So in my opinion wait the first 24 hours and do the above.I think it will pass and will feel better again.
Take care and feel free to ask me again
