A hot pot burned a cotton pot holder. there was a lot of white/gray smoke in my house. i coughed and got shortness of breath. should i see a doctor?

Probably not: You reacted to smoke. If you don't have shortness of breath now you don't need to dr. Be careful in future exposing yourself combustion products like exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke etc
