Suggest Treatment For Coughing

Hi. I was scrubbing yesterday with bleach diluted in water. Last night my eyelids began to swell, my nose ran profusely and I have a terrible dry hacking cough. What can I do to relieve the cough? The eyes are getting better with frequent visine drops.

Hello
Thank You for contatcing HCM.

You are suffering from allergy from bleach. Perform following things to improve the condition:
1. Wash your eyes multiple times.
2. Always use mask and prevent such chemical from touching the body, specially eyes.

3. take following medication:
a) Syp XXXX DM (Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan) 1 Table spoon three times a day for 3 days.... {It is for cough}
b) Tab XXXX 10mg (Cetrizine) 1 tablet before going to bed for 2 days... {it will prevent allergy}
c) Continue using XXXXdrops 3 times a day for 3 days

Visit ophthalmologist if :
> Condition starts to aggravate.
> Condition does not improve in 2-3 days
> Any other symptom arises.

Hope this treatment will make you well soon.

Thank You
