What Causes Throat Irritation After Accidental Inhalation Of Pain Reliever Spray?
Hello. I went into the steam-room at the gym for a few minutes and someone else used a ton of Ben gay - making it airborne. I breathed it in and today my tongue, throat and lungs are irraitated and I have nausea. How bad are these fumes for the lungs? What can I do to clean out my lungs? Thankyou.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the exposure was not long enough then it is nothing to worry, what ever the fume or gas when inhaled then the common symptoms is respiratory depression and breathing difficulty and fainting but this is only happening in most hazardous gases and may not be with what you had been exposed and hope this information helps.
