Symptoms of respiratory intoxication may occur during a fire and up to 5 days after the incident. Symptoms of respiratory intoxication:
- Cough;
- Shortness of breath;
- Fever;
- Chiado in the chest;
- Dizziness
- Sickness.
If you experience any of these symptoms it is recommended not to take any medication and to go to the doctor as soon as possible because there is a possibility of developing diseases such as bronchiolitis, pneumonia and other respiratory infections.
It is important not to take any medication to avoid masking these symptoms and thus avoid the worsening of the situation.
Individuals who form exposed to toxic smoke and have not developed these symptoms immediately can still suffer the consequences of this inhalation for up to 3 weeks, which period the body may take to recover.
