Suggest Burning Of Eyes After Using Bleach To Clean Washroom

I used straight bleach to clean my bathroom. I have done it before amd have gotten the same side effects, but this time it's worse... My eyes started burning, throat started to get sore, and my nose is running uncontrollably. And I am sneezing nonstop. I also think that it's turned into a sinus infection. My face hurts as well as the t zone, and my teeth. I have also gone through almost 2 rolls of tissue within the last hour. Am I okay? Do I need to go to the hospital? I feel terrible...

Hello
It seems from the history that after cleaning the washroom with bleaching powder you are having burning of the eyes, nose and throat.
These symptoms indicate toxic and allergic effects of the bleaching powder.
The treatment is by washing the eyes and nose with throat to remove the toxic effects and later you need to use artificial tears eye drops for eyes and drugs like anti-allergics and anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment of the conditions of nose and throat.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
