Can Gases From A Child S Stool Affect Eyes?

Hi, I just used undiluted bleach in my tub to scrub it after my daughter pooped in the bath tub. it is a small bathroom with no windows or proper ventilation. i was in there for awhile scrubbing and now my eyes sting. my husband has me worried that something is going to happen to me from breathing in the toxic gas. i opened up all the windows in our house but now i m worried.

Ophthalmologist, Dr. Dadapeer K's Response

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having irritation in the eyes. The gases from the child's stool will not affect the eye. Wah your thoroughly and if required you can use artificial tears eye drops. You will be fine no need to worry.

Hope the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
