What To Do For The Sore Throat And Chest Discomfort Due To Chemicals?

I was cleaning the toilets at work last night and poured bleach down the toilet then sprayed dettol multi-action over the pan. There are several toilets here so I done this a few times and around half way through my throat started to hurt and my chest is slightly sore. I m sure this is because of the bleach and dettol being used together but I m worried about the effect its had on me. Should i see my GP?

in my opinion this chemical induced burning. if it is mild, it was slowly fade away. all u just need to do is limit further exposure. and just take antihistaminic, antiallergic treatment.
