Hi, I recently cleaned my bathroom using acid, and I ended up inhaling some of the fumes. Now I'm worried about whether this could have any impact on my health. Should I be concerned, and is there anything I should do to protect myself?

Accepted Answer

Inhaling fumes from strong acids can irritate your respiratory system and may cause symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, or throat irritation. If you continue to experience symptoms or feel unwell, its important to seek medical attention promptly. Ensure you ventilate the area well and avoid prolonged exposure to fumes in the future.

Question 4

Ive heard that there might be a way to remove tar from the lungs of smokers, and I was wondering if thats actually possible. If so, how is it done, and how much would it roughly cost? I heard about someone who did it and was curious to know more.

Accepted Answer

Removing tar from smoker lungs is a challenging process, but it's possible to reduce the damage and promote lung health. Unfortunately, there's no magic procedure to completely remove tar, but quitting smoking is the first step towards healing.Your lungs have an incredible ability to repair themselves, and the healing process begins immediately after quitting smoking. Within 48 hours, carbon monoxide levels drop, and oxygen levels increase. The cilia in your lungs start to regrow within a week, and lung function improves within a month.To support your lung health, consider incorporating lung-cleansing foods, drinks, and supplements into your routine. These may include:- Lung-Cleansing Foods: Dark leafy greens, berries, citrus fruits, garlic, onions, ginger, and turmeric.- Lung Detox Drinks: Teas made from ginger, basil, and echinacea.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like youre dealing with persistent chest pain that has been diagnosed as costochondritis, a condition where the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone becomes inflamed. While your tests are normal, this can still cause significant discomfort. Treatment typically includes anti-inflammatory medications, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.
