Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Coughing, difficulty in breathing, chest pain are seen mostly in lung infection and bronchitis.
Possibility of bronchitis is more because your symptoms are associated with cleaning stuff.
Your neck pain is mostly due to muscular strain while coughing.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need antibiotics, antihistamines, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Wear face mask while cleaning.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
