How Can Bleach Fumes Inhalation Causing Parageusia Be Treated?

I'm a cosmetology student and have accidentally inhaled powdered bleach when mixing several times (it makes a cloud of dust when you pour it). Ever since i've been using it, i'm noticed that my tongue and mouth "taste bad" and my mouth feels like it's burning. At the same time that i was learning to work with this product, i had a tooth pulled, which was traumatic and developed into dry socket, so for the last 3 months i've been thinking the tooth caused the mouth problem. But after being checked by my dentist and an oral surgeon several times, i'm starting to think maybe the chemicals are stuck in my lungs. I will now wear a mask for future highlights, but what to do i do to "clean" my lungs?
