Feeling a little sick from mold removal this weekend. What can the doc do for me?
I had a little surprise when I came home from work Friday night and found water coming from under my kitchen cabinets after it had rained really hard. Turns out water has been leaking around my improperly sealed plumbing vent on the roof, and water has been accumulating behind my cabinets. = BLACK MOLD! It was less than 10 sq/ft. The hubby and I wore proper respiration, eye and hand protection to remove it. We also had the rest of the house sealed off and the windows open during removal. Now I have an irritated throat and my nose is stuffy. I have 2 HEPA air purifiers and a dehumidifier going full blast.
Basically, I’m just wondering if I go see my doctor tomorrow, can he do anything for me other than to tell me to take a benadryl? I’m afraid of this sickness getting worse if I don’t treat it. I can’t miss work due to layoffs.
a stuffy nose is caused by bacteria build (from the mold) up in your sinus creating mucus and blocking your air passages. the best way is to rinse out your nose with a betti neti pot. its a very simple process with NO side effects besides breathing clearly haha.
dont use plastic ones though because the chemicals in the plastic eventually break down and cause more problems. go with ceramic made netis. i have a betti pot and it works wonders. feel better!
since there are no doctors on Yahoo, take your list of questions to your doctor & ask. for now, treat your symptoms, use a nasal rinse, run a vaporizer when you sleep, and drink plenty of water.
