What Causes Soreness In The Throat After The Inhalation Of Bathroom Cleaners?

Hi, Im 28 weeks pregnant. Healthy and no complications. Today I decided to clean my bathroom and accidentally mixed bleach and some blue stuff from the toilet. I was there for around a minute when I felt my throat getting sore and the baby in my belly going crazy. I got out of there immediately and closed up the doors but opened the windows so fumes could go away. My husband wants me to go to doctors immediately but since I m not dizzy I feel I m ok. Baby moved excessively for around 5 minutes so I m concerned that it may have harmed her. As I said all I had was a soreness in my throat but no dizziness or nausea or even itchy eyes. Should I go to doctors office?

Hello,

It may be mucositis due to toxic fumes inhalation or irritation of mucosa lead to a sore throat.

So if you're feeling allergy or irritation means wash with normal saline or water.

If you're having an allergy or asthmatic attack means use antihistamine or anti-inflammatory medications.

Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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