Is The Sore Throat Related To Inhaling Bleach?
Hi - I used a cleaning product that contained bleach for my bathroom last night. I did inhale it as I wasnt using a mask, however I only felt extremely thirsty after. and went to bed this way and woke up with a really bad sore throat. was it due to the inhaling of bleach? do I need to see a doctor?

Hello,
Yes this is because of bleach inhalation .These fumes actually irritate the mucosa and you have the sore throat because of that.
You should do steam inhalations ,it will give good relief .
Take plenty of water and antacids , avoid outside food and take bland diet.
In doubt do reply.
