Can A Bleach Cleaner Cause Painful Sore Throat And Small Cough?

I was cleaning a used camper we purchased with a spray bleach cleaner. Over a two day period I scrubbed all walls ceilings and shelves with this bleach. The next morning I woke up with the most painful sore throat and have had it for two days now. Even have a small cough. Is this from the bleach?

you may be allergic to bleach. use mask using it next time .better avoid it. for time being start with chorpheneramine maleate, an antibiotic (amoxyclav),anagesics,and antacids.you should also start with low dose steroids for few days to have immediate relief.dont worry you will be fine.
