Does Over Exposure To Chlorine Lead To Recurring Coughs And Sore Throat?
Hi my daughter keeps getting recurring coughs, sore throats, dizziness and headaches. She is a competitive swimmer and this seems to happen when she uses the indoor pool once a week and when the chlorine levels seem pretty high. She had to get out last night as she was having difficulty breathing and this morning has had to go back to bed and is sleeping. Are these all symptoms of over exposure to chlorine? Many thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that the cough that our daughter has got seems allergic constitution and may not due to exposure to chlorinated water in the swimming pool, here the allergic condition need to be treated, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
