Hi and thank you much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened. Because you only inhaled this for a very short time, there is no need to get worried that this may cause harm to you. You need to inhale greater quantities and over longer periods. Keep the windows and doors open. That would be sufficient. The measures you have taken are sufficient.

I wish you all well.
