Suggest Treatment For Irritation Of Eyes And Shortness Of Breath After Inhaling Poison Ivy.

I am not allergic to poison ivy, but I burned a brush pile covered with it about 6hrs ago. I have some irritation, shortness of breath is mild and eyes are burning and puffy feeling. I used an albuterol inhaler and it made me start coughing really bad. Do I need to worry about this worsening later or becoming severe and even fatal after I go to sleep and in the morning hours??? mi

As a first episode, now you know you could be allergic. Take a antihistaminic and avoid such exposures in future.
