Suggest Remedy For Accidental Inhalation Of Isopropyl Alcohol Vapor
Question: Hello,
I am a 27 year old Male. I occasionally (on the weekends) use a vaporizer to ingest marijuana. About 3 weeks ago I used isopropyl alcohol to clean out the vaporizing apparatus. I believe that I accidentally inhaled isopropyl alcohol vapor. I was sick for a few days afterward. I had a bad cough, chest and nose congestion, eventually post-nasal drip, swollen glands, and a couple bloody noses (although that could have been from the weather changing from winter to spring).
It has been three weeks and those symptoms are now gone. However, I went to the dentists and they discovered some sort of blister-looking thing on the roof of my mouth. After a few weeks it has not gone away or gotten smaller. Could this have been caused by my carelessness with the rubbing alcohol? Are there any long-term effects?
