Does Upper Respiratory Infection, Non Stop Cough Requires Attention?

My son had a rubber basketball and placed it on top of his lamp and forgot and turned the lamp on. In turn the lamp's light bulb melted the ball completely and fumes instantly filled his room as well as the whole house. He instantly started coughing and said he was nauseated. He was just diagnosed with an upper respritory infection today and is coughing non stop. Should we worry about the smell and fumes even though we opened all the windows?
