Chloramine inhalation

2018-01-12 10:26:02
I accidentally inhaled chloramines for a short time after putting bleach where I had sprayed an ammonia based cleaner. I immediately noticed the smell and had a harsh cough. I opened all the windows and went outside. That was 2 hours ago. I have not coughed since and had no other symptoms of feeling unwell. Do I need to be seen by a dr? I don’t want to waste time when I feel ok.

Inhalation of chlorine or ammonia can be dangerous to lungs and health. The chlorine used in the household cleaners are usually not concentrated and won't cause much of toxicity. If you feel nauseating, vomiting or any other symptoms of toxicity consult nearby doctor
