Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have burning sensation in abdomen upon inhalation of bleach. Well sodium hypochlorite is a chemical commonly found in bleach . Swallowing sodium hypochlorite can lead to poisoning. Breathing sodium hypochlorite fumes may also cause poisoning, especially if the product is mixed with ammonia. I would suggest you to to drink glass of milk and stay in fresh air. In condition doesn't get better or get worse then consult doctor for proper examination and treatment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
