Should I Be Concerned That I Accidently Breathed Bleach And

Yes, this can cause bronchitis.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, these chemicals can cause bronchitis.
When these chemicals are accidentally inhaled, they can cause irritation and inflammation in the lungs. This will ultimately cause bronchitis which gives symptoms of burning and pain in chest.
Usually this kind of bronchitis is self-limiting.
So no need to worry much.
Just inhale fresh air, do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Also be relax and calm.
You will mostly improve with all these in 1 day.
But if you develop vigorous coughing or breathlessness or mucus expectoration or fever or hemoptysis (blood in sputum) then you should definitely consult doctor.
So watch for these symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
