Hello,
The bleach is a pungent smell and it takes time for it to go. YOu should breath in a well ventilated room or a open area .
Do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations.
There could be reaction to it. if they develop then you might need to visit a doctor and take anti histaminic medications .
In doubt do reply
