Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query,

You have probably developed laryngitis due to the chemical explosion.

I can understand your situation but you should definitely get yourself examined by an ENT SPECIALIST and seek treatment accordingly.

Take steam inhalation for now.
