Brief Answer:
Breathing difficulty, throat pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Anti-rust products and chlorine can cause adverse effects by ingestion or inhalation.
They can cause symptoms like breathing difficulty, throat pain and swelling, pain and burning in eyes, ears, nose, abdominal pain, vomiting, dropping of blood pressure etc.
Usually these symptoms will occur immediately after exposure.
As it is already 2 to 3 days over after exposure, the symptoms may or may not be due to the chemicals.
Anyhow better to consult physician once and get examined.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
