Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it is the allergic and irritant action of the bleach.
First of all you wash the face several times, to clear the eye irritation with only cold water.
Then i advise you to consult a physician for treatment of the respiratory tract and nervous system.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms steroid injection, cough formula, cifixime, and ranitidine to prevent night time complications.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
