Any suggestion for scratchy throat, trouble breathing and heaviness in chest?
Patient: I was cleaning my bathroom today and I think that I may have breathed in some chemicals. Right now my throat is scratchy.  And I was having trouble trouble breathing. I did go outside and take a few deep breaths. No I do not feel so short of breathe. Still my throat is sore. And my chest feels heavy.p Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicIt is possible that your symptoms are related to a reaction to the chemicals.The reaction should decrease on its own, normally takes up to a few hours.It is important to remain in a well ventilated area.The use of anti inflammatory pain medication would help if any discomfort occurs.Eg- naproxen, cataflam, ibuprofenI hope this helps
