What are the symptoms of smoke inhalation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually short lived: Smoke inhalation can irritate lung tissue but it's usually short lived. It depends on what was burning though. Certain plastics and rubbers can be toxic when burned and cause more issues. If it last more than a few days, or there is any shortness of breath, chest pain or other severe symptoms, go get checked out.
