Suggest Home Remedy For Sore Throat And Chest Tightness

My throat is sore and it may be because I inhaled too much of my Lysol All-Purpose cleaner. I have a cough and find myself clearing my throat a lot. When I take a deep breath, my chest feel a little tight. Any home remedies or OTC medications I can take to relieve my symptoms?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I have gone through the details provided by you. I feel that steam inhalation would be helpful for you. Water in the form of steam will reach deep within the lungs and dilute the irritant effect of the chlorine in lysol and would give you relief. You may take some antiallergic tablet like levocetirizine once daily for a couple of days. By taking these measures, I hope that your symptoms will get relieved in a day or two. In case it does not, it would be preferable to visit a doctor.
