What Causes Raspy Voice After Exposure To Bleach Solution?

I had a water/bleach solution in a bucket in the bathroom. My 3 year old went to the bathroom and when done, he picked up a shell that was in the bleach solution. He put them down immediately and I washed his hands. He was unhappy with me and started to cry saying his nose hurt. He blew his nose and said it didn t hurt anymore. He is sleeping, but his breathing is maybe a little louder than normal and seems raspy a bit at the end of each breath. I put vicks on my chest and am next to him. Looking for reassuracne that he will be okay before I go to sleep.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

The raspy voice after exposure to bleach solution is the immediate effect of the solution over upper respiratory tract mucosa causing cellular swelling and inflammation.

There will be a better help with fresh air, deep breathing exercises, avoidance of further exposure, gargles with salted lukewarm water.

In case of any doubt, rush to ER without delay.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
