How To Treat Cough?
Hello, my mom was cleaning the restroom with bleach while she began to shower. She began to cough a lot and obviously started obsorbing it. When she came out she felt weak and sick and coughed for around 5 hours. Today is the second day and she still feels weak. What will be the best thing to do?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There should be some improvement in her symptoms today as compared to yesterday.
If there is no significant improvement at all then it would be best for her to see her doctor for assessment.
Any shortness of breath or chest pain should be assessed
If there is some improvement then this is likely to continue and she should rest today.
I hope this helps
