Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Discomfort On The Chest
Last week I was exposed to rusty moldy papers in a old milk tin. I had breathed in alot of the stuff as I was trying to take papers out. Today I am suffering from chest discomfort vomiting headache stuffy nose. Can these symptoms be related to what I breathed in last week

Hello,
Yes it could be due to inhaling the mouldy dust especially if you have any kind of allergy like allergy to dust and smoke.
This kind of dust can have many allergens which may trigger an inflammaory response in the body.
You may take an anti allergic like a monteleukast levocetrizine combination, a Pan D for vomiting and an acetaminophen for headache and avoid further exposure to dust and smoke.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
