Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough

I m needing to know if there are home remedies or if I need to be seen by a physician. I was cleaning earlier today using bleach and Lysol (not mixed together) on different surfaces when I started getting a lump feeling in my throat I now have a dry cough that feels like something is stuck in my throat and I feel congested. I have been like this for about 4 hours

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Fumes of cleaning products can irritate respiratory tract and cause inflammation.
So no need to visit physician at present. Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Take levocetrizine and paracetamol (both available over the counter) twice daily.
You will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days.
If not improving then consult physician.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
