Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Qvar contains Beclomethasone Dipropionate, it is steroid and can reduce your symptom.
Bleach is responsible for causing irritation, it should subside in day, if the symptoms persists more then 2 days or the severity increases i advice you to see physician.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
