Suggest Remedy For Chest Burning After Inhalation Of Bleach Fumes
I poured bleach on cat urine in my garage in two different places. I have done this before but this time the chemical reaction was insane. Unfortunately the fumes were extremely strong and I inhaled them. My eyes burned a little and my chest hurts and I have been coughing my ass off the coughing has calmed down but my back and chest are soar should I be worried or just see how I feel as the day goes on?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that there was not enough ventilation in the area where the bleach was used.
The reaction should resolve on its own, normally in a few hours but if it continues or worsens, you should see your doctor for assessment.
You may want to consider the use of anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, cataflam or naproxen to help with your pain.
I hope this helps
