Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation In Nose And Throat

My 21 year old daughter mixed 2 cups of bleach with vinegar to kill ants on our front porch yesterday. She is still complaining today that her nose and throat are still burning. She has taken cough drops. What else can she do to relieve the pain?

The fumes from the bleach cause irritation of the throat. The best thing would be to take steam inhalations with tincture of benzoin and use saline nose drops several times a day. Next time, she should remember to use a face mask and eye goggles while doing this sort of thing.
