Hello.Is very dangerous to mix bleach and amonia. First u need call 911 or call the poison control for advice. In these cases should bee given supplemental O2 and corticosteroid therapy. Using prednisone 45 to 60mg once /day for 1-2weeks is frequently used .U should have a x-ray and pulse oximetry . Let me.know if the symptoms are lighter
