Could Bleach Flames Cause Irritation And Sore Throat?

Hello.
Today I was cleaning my small, poorly ventilated bathroom with a spray product that contained bleach. I wasn't cleaning in there for a super long time, but the fumes where harsh. I felt fine up until about an hour ago. I have an irritated, scratchy throat. No other symptoms at all. I was wondering if the sore throat is from the bleach or if I am getting a cold. What can I do to help it. I'm drinking tea with some raw honey in it, but it still feels irritated. My roommate has been sick with a cold for the last week or so as well.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The bleaching is such agent which has corrosive property while taken by mouth in adequate quantity but if inhaled does not cause significant clinical symptoms except little breathing problem but may go away as soon as the inhalation of fumes stops, so need to worry it will be alright have nice day.
