After Having Inhaled Bleach Smell While Cleaning Feeling Nauseous & Cough

Hi..3 weeks ago I deep cleaned my bathroom with bleach. Non deluted. Since then I have had this hard horrible cough. It hurts my chest and I was very nauseous for a couple days afterwards. Since that I also cleaned my kitchen with bleach about 3 days ago and its got worse. Should I be worried?

Hi. I can understand your concern
Chemicals are known to cause such reactions so it would be better to get a chest x ray done as to look for any lung injury caused by the same. Also try warm salt water gargling and steam inhalation.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
