Suggest Remedy For Cough,nausea And Headache After Inhaling Smoke From A Fire Accident
about an hour ago I breathed in smoke for about 10-15 min. in an almost out of control fire ( we put it out). immediately after the fire I began coughing up black mucus. since then my lungs and throat feel like they are burning, when I try to speak more than a few words I begin coughing up a creamy white mucus. I have a headache and am nauseated. When I move around i become dizzy. Should I go to the ER or will the symptoms pass over time?
You should go to the ER given the symptoms you have of headache and nausea, which can be indicative of carbon monoxide toxicity, which can be serious. The smoke likely irritated your airways and caused irritative bronchitis.
