Using Bleach, Spilled A Bucket Of Bleach Water, Difficulty Breathing. Used Inhaler For Bronchitis, Lack Of Voice, Throat Pain. Treatment?

I was cleaning in bleach and dish detergent after my husband had sprayed the house with flea foggers. I acccidently fell off a ladder and spilled a whole bucket of bleach water in the floor where i was laying. When I first stood up I had a really hard time breathing . I went outside to get some fresh air and used an inhaler that was given to me for bronchitis . It has been over a week and I still dont have much of a voice and my throat still hurts and burns. What can I do?

Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
as you inhaled fumes or bleach as it passes through the food pipe or wind pipe there is swelling of mucosa and thus pain and inflamation
in larynx it cause swelling of vocal cord due to which hoarseness of voice
it take 3-4 week to subside this episode
take short course of steroids for 5 days in tapering dose
take anti allergic fexofenadine 120 mg bd
antacid gel tds to clear acid
lot of warm water
take alkaline substances to neutralise the acid effect of bleach
