Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having inhalation lung injury.
And most commonly, this will cause bronchitis (inflammation of airways).
Normally, no treatment is required. Avoid further exposure. Breath fresh air and take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
You will mostly improve in 1 day.
But if you still feel heaviness in chest, breathlessness, constant cough etc than consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
This will tell you about severity of bronchitis and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
