Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)

Should I go to urgent care?

There was mold found recently in my home. Ever since I’ve been coughing, my nose is running, and I’m having trouble breathing.

See your general medical doctor. He/She can refer to allergist if indicated
Urgent care will not be able to help you. If you inhaled spores/mold, it could just be a reactive airway/allergy scenario where you need antihistamines, inhaled steroids, bronchodilators, etc. If it doesn’t pass in 2-3 days or gets worse, you might need a chest X-ray.
Hello,

Yes, it is possible that you have a mold allergy or a high-grade sensitivity.
