Inhaled Ammonia And Bleach. Is It Safe To Go Back To The Room If No Is Coughing Or Having Reactions?

Hi a while ago like maybe five hours ago maybe more I mixed ammonia base cleaner an bleach, it was a complete accident and I may of made a gas in my room, but it only smelt like it in the room I isolated it and opened all my windows all the fans are on but the smell is still there no one is coughing or having reactions, so I'm wondering is it safe to go back into the room I flushed the mixture (it was in the toilet) fairly quickly twice just toke sure it was gone.
Thank you.
