A member asked:
Woke up to house filled with smoke from a fire we had earlier. we are coughing some but house is airing out and i think we're okay. should i worry?

Lingering smoke: Obviously not a healthy situation but sounds like it was a minor fire. Odors can linger in the furniture and clothing and could explain the cough. Perhaps a nasal rinse with saline solution can remove residual from the nasopharynx. If you have allergies, asthma or respiratory conditions then its best to stay away until all is resolved.
