Yesterday I was cleaning and inhaled bleach along with toilet bowl cleaner. It didnt bother me at first but after a few minutes I noticed it was bothering me and then I had shortness of breath. Today I have a mucous cough and congestion. Should I be on alert?
Thanks for asking your question I completely understand your question bleach can be a respiratory irritant and can cause sudden or delayed allergic reactions. You need to take some antiallergics like fexofenadine once daily and do some steam inhalation thrice a day, and take an antibiotic like lifetime for 7 days after consulting a pulmonologist, so that no secondary infection occurs pulmonologist can request for a chest X-ray to see any organic lung damage is thereon need of panicking thanks/ regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
