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.
