Suggest Treatment For Cough After Using Bleach
Hi I was cleaning today and used a solution that had bleach in it. The fumes were strong so I cut it with more water now I have a slight cough. No burning or shortness of breath just a cough. I m sure it s related. Anything I can do to alleviate the cough?

1. Inhalation of bleach [ammonia] may result in asymptomatic, non productive cough which can be alleviated by OTC [over the counter] drugs, however if relief is not there check with an ENT doctor.
2. take baking soda in lukewarm water and drink to neutralize acid in your stomach and 1 teaspoon of olive oil for protective coating on stomach/intestine
