Hello,

Thank you for your query.
The fumes from the bleaching powder would definitely irritate your throat and cause mild throat congestion. The smell usually clears on its own and there isn't anything you can do after 2 days. for your throat a just salt water gargling for few days would help.

Thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have soreness in throat after inhaling fumes of bleaching powder. Well the symptoms you mention in query occur due to allergic reaction due to volatile bleach contents , which can be poisonous sometimes. They can cause respiratory problem along with nervous problem which breathing problems and pain in chest and throat. You should take some fresh air and drink plenty of water and milk which will be helpful. Keep doors open and apply mist humidifier sin room. I would suggest you to consult doctor for proper examination without any delay and rule out condition like poisoning. Doctor may prescribe anti emetic drug , antihistamine , steroid injection , analgesic and ranitidine.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
