Suggest Remedies For Chronic Cough And Lethargy
I was subject to human fecal fumes for a long period of time. It made me lathrgic and I am unable to get the odor out of my lungs and skin. Its almost like a lung infection but I have began to suppress the cough. Is this an issue you can assist with?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis.
As prolonged exposure of any fumes can cause chronic bronchitis.
And chronic cough and breathlessness, lethargy are the cardinal symptoms for this.
So better to diagnose this first.
It is 100% treatable disease.
Inhaled therapy with bronchodilators are needed.
