Inhaling glass particles can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the size of the particles, the amount of glass the person inhales, and the duration of inhalation.

Immediate symptoms of glass inhalation may include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. These symptoms may be accompanied by a burning sensation in the throat and chest. The individual may also experience nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

In more serious cases, the person may experience anaphylactic shock.

In severe cases, the individual may also experience confusion, loss of consciousness, and even death.

Longer-term symptoms of glass inhalation may include chronic lung problems such as bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema. People who have inhaled glass particles may also suffer from chronic sinusitis, which is an inflammation of the sinuses that can cause nasal congestion, headaches, and facial pain.

It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you or someone else has inhaled glass particles. A doctor will be able to assess the severity of the damage and provide appropriate treatment. Treatment may include bronchodilators to open the airways, steroid medications to reduce inflammation, and oxygen therapy. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the glass particles from the lungs.
