Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have breathing difficulty after inhaling bleach which is due to lung infection / bronchitis. The symptoms can occur due to allergic reaction or poisoning due to clorinated compund in bleach . I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should get X-ray chest done. Get pulmonary function test done as well to find out extent of infection. Start treatment after proper examination.

For now drink glass of milk and take proper rest . Avoid cold liquids, spicy, oily and fried food. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should gargle with saline water. You should take cough expectorants as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
