HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The smell will resolve, it may take from a few minutes to up to an hour but it should resolve.
The other symptoms that can be associated with bleach inhalation are coughing, gagging, pain in the mouth, chest pain, confusion, abdominal pain, burning eyes, vomiting.
If you experience these symptoms, you should seek medical attention.
I hope this helps
