What To Do For Burning Throat Due To Toilet Cleaner?
I recently mixed toilet bowl cleaner and bleach. Tried to get away from the horrific fumes but coudn't. Have burning in throat and down the center of my chest. This happened yesterday afternoon but still feel burning today. Voice is very raspy today. Hurts to take deep breath. Shallow breathing OK.

Hi welcome to HCM....
Here you have chemical injury by inhalation of toxic fumes ....
Most likely seems to be laryngitis as voice is affected ....
So here your physical examination and laryngoscopic examination done to visualize larynx ....
If inflammation more short term steroid course needed .....
Avoid taking excess spicy foods for few days ....
Avoid smoking ....
Take semisolid diet more ...
With time within one to two days if no improvement than consult otorhinolaryngologist for that ....
Take care
