Soda ash: Soda ash (also washing soda - or sodium carbonate is a mild alkali agent so it can cause local skin irritation especially to mucus membranes of the nose and mouth/throat. It should be temporary. - drinking lots of water will help. For the nose you can try nasal irrigation - using a netti pot may help. Good luck.
