Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Cough And Inflammation In Lungs During Pregnancy?
I had to fill containers with ammonia to repel rodents from my trash, as I was filling them I was accidentally down wind and inhaled so much fumes at once I started coughing and my lungs burned. I m 9wks pregnant. I just want to make sure my baby will be alright or if I should seek medical help..
I would suggest you to seek medical help. Exposure to chemical fumes like ammonia may lead to irritation of mucosa in the respiratory tract.
This may also lead to inflammation causing cough and discomfort on breathing. The degree of severity and the extent of involvement will require examination by a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ayesha Shareef, General & Family Physician
