I inhaled wood chip dust today. as i'm trying to sleep tonight i cannot stop coughing and i'm having issues breathing. how can i clear this up?

Coughing is your: body's natural response to particles in your airway. A vigorous cough helps remove them. Wood chip dust can't be removed mechanically. Avoid taking cough suppressants like dextromethorphan )Robitussin et. al.). Running a humidified and staying upright when possible can improves your airway's ability to clear stuff out. Significant breathing problems & fever require prompt medical care.
