My husband inhaled dry chlorine, he opened the container and the fumes hit him in the face. He insists he is fine....his eyes were red and watery but have cleared up. When he talks he sounds a little raspy, he says he doesnt have chest pains but does feel very little restriction on his breathing says he can breath. He does feel some muscus there now. What should I do? Chrissy

But at present, no treatment is required. Also tell him to
