What is respiratory irritation?

Respiratory irritation refers to discomfort or inflammation in the airways, often caused by exposure to pollutants, allergens, or irritants such as smoke, chemicals, or strong odors. Symptoms can include coughing, throat irritation, shortness of breath, and a burning sensation in the nose or throat. This condition can affect individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues, such as Asthma, and may lead to more severe respiratory problems if exposure continues. It is important to identify and minimize exposure to irritants to alleviate symptoms and protect respiratory health.
