my friend consumed half a cup of harpic (toliet cleaner ) it contains hydrochloric acid . he did not vomit after consuming . it s been almost a year and now he has pain in his chest and has the problem of asthma . he consulted a doctor and the doctor said that the infection can t be cured. but there many cases that are worse than this but they have been cured . so please suggest me somthing
Your friend is lucky that he didn`t have much damage after consuming Harris which contains acid though mild and many other chemicals. He could have developed hyper reactive airways after inhaling the fumes or some of it may have gone down his airways. He may go in for chest CT to assess the damage to the lung parenchymal and a PFT. The risk is if he has any damage to lungs he may develop bronchiectasis, and he may get repeated chest infections. He may develop hyper reactive airways and have asthma may develop OLD.  If he has no symptoms at present.
