Irritant-Induced Reactive Airways Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Irritant-induced reactive airways disease is an asthma-like condition that can appear after exposure to irritant substances in the air, such as gases, fumes, or vapors. The airways become sensitive and inflamed after such contact.
Common symptoms: these usually include cough, a sensation of tightness in the chest, difficulty breathing, and wheezing when breathing, which may persist for some time after the exposure.
Common causes: it is linked to contact, sometimes single and intense, with irritant agents in the workplace or at home.
Recommended specialists: the pulmonologist evaluates respiratory function and the allergist helps identify triggers and the sensitivity of the airways. If, after being exposed to fumes or chemicals, you notice respiratory symptoms that do not let up, it is a good idea to have a professional evaluate your case and provide guidance.
