Hello welcome to HCM. the clorox fumes had caused throat irritation. Be away from that for few days till symptoms recover. Please do steam inhalation 3-4 times daily. You need to take anti allergy tablet. If there is any yellow secretion, then it indicates there is also infection. You should start with antibiotics. Please take appointment with the ENT specialist for the treatement.
