Hello dear

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* This seems in relation with inflammation of upper respiratory tract
mucosa via bleach fumes .

* There is no need to rush to ER , suggestions for better recovery

- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 4 hourly .
- Deep breathing exercises every 2 hourly for 15 minutes .
- Maintain hydration with plenty of liquids .
- Avoid exposure to noxious substances .
- Walking in fresh air will give tremendous relief .
- Use semi reclining position when doing rest .

Hope this clears your doubt .
Regards .
