Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
I know your anxiety and concerns but single inhalation of fumes and even direct aerosols will not lead to any problems especially when you have no symptoms of watering of eyes or excessive sneezing after that event.
So nothing to worry and no active treatment needed.
