Suggest Remedy For Chest Congestion Due To Exposure To Toxic Mold

i have been exposed to toxic mold in my home for quite a while before discovering it. I have symptoms including congestion in my chest, headaches, muscle weakness and loose stools. What should I do to get this checked out and is there any medications that can help relieve my symptoms.

Hello
Toxic mold usually causes bronchoconstriction and this produces congestion , breathlessness and cough , headache , general weakness .
First of take deflazacot 30 mg only one tablet , not more than this .
Since congestion is there , so take montelukast+fexofenadine , one tablet orally for 4-5 days .
If you are feeling any breathlessness due to congestion then take montelukast+bambuterol instead of monte+fexo ( as mentioned above).
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also relieve congestion.
Still no relief then consult an allergy specialist and get his opinion .
Hope this will be useful for you.
Good luck.
