Sore Throat, Slight Wheezing, And Coughing After Inhaling Cleaning Product. Taking Cough Medicine. Anything To Worry?
I have a minor sore throat, slight wheezing, and coughing after accidentally inhailing cleaning products. I immediately began coughing which lasted about 5 minutes. The symptoms didn't start until the next day. I've had the symptoms now for 4 days. Not sure if I have a cold or not. I have been taking cough medicine. Could this be serious or just a common cold?

Hi,
It seems that due to inhailing cleaning product there might be some irritation in throat causing this problem.
continue with cough syrup.
Do warm water gargles.
Take some throat smoothing lozenges to stop irritation.
Ok and take care.
